BASILICA OF SACRED HEART
SACRÉ-COEUR

PARIS

FRANCE

White romantic Montmartre beauty for tourists, place of silence, prayer and adoration high above Paris for Christians.

"But above all preserve peace of heart. This is more valuable than any treasure.”

- St Margaret Mary Alacoque

Whether it was with my class on a school trip to Paris, with a group of friends at the world youth days with pope John Paul II, or during the gathering of Taizé at the end of 2003, this was always a place of unexpected piece and silence in the middle of the hectic city. A place that somehow attracts not only Christians but crowds of all types of visitors from all over the world.
