Inside the church there is "perpetual adoration", nuns were singing and chanting during my visit. Small candles are 2 Euros. It's a beautiful and peaceful place.
Cette Basilique m'a été révélé en songe, avant je ne l'a connaissais pas, j'ai retrouvé tout les détails de mon songe. Merci Seigneur
Absolument superbe
The Basilique was large with Roman inspired domes and stained glass windows. There were several altars with St. Michael, Virgin Mary and Jesus and more. A que was set up for tourists to view and admire. It is recommended to be silent while entering as religious Catholics were praying. There is no entry fee required for the church . As a catholic, I enjoyed the serenity and ambiance of this church. I would highly recommend and light a candle or pray ????
It is a beautiful basilica inside and out, with two mounted knight statues flanking it on the roof. These impressive statues represent French saints Joan of Arc and King Louis IX. Watch for intricate gargoyles decorating the outside of the building as well, on all sides.
Inside the basilica,columns, vaulted ceilings and domes give it height and light inside. Murals decorate the inside of the dome and statues of angels with spears guard the dome. Stained glass windows are sprinkled throughout. Look for the excellent scale model that can be found of the Basilique du Sacre-Coeur with its working lights and its location on the street of the surrounding area of Montmartre Hill.
This is the second most visited tourist attraction in Paris and it is justified. Its location on the hill is an excellent spot for views of the city. The old artist colony on Montmarte hill is also worth checking out, but beware of pickpockets disguised as artists wanting to draw your portrait with dirty sketch pads. There were many of them while we were there and I saw them stealing wallets myself.
