Now, that, my friends, is a picture. This is the majestic Basilique du Sacre-Coeur in Paris. We visited there in August 2007 on our trip to France. This was one of the most rewarding places to visit, because we had to work to get there. It's located at the top of Montmartre, the highest point of the city.
But the view from up there was unbelievable. Just in front of the church (a word that does no justice to the beauty and majesty of Sacre-Coeur), there are hundreds of people milling around the steps, just taking in the sight of Paris arrayed before them.
Check out the view of the steps. I would love to get married again in this church and take photos on these steps (sans mobs of holiday-makers, bien sur).
I shall leave you with just one more image of the Sacre-Coeur. I loved this place so much. Photography was forbidden inside the church (although Natalie did sneak a picture of the fabulous domed ceiling which I thought I had on my computer but can't find) so I can't show you how gorgeous the interior was. But I will tell you that I experienced a very spiritual moment there, and I purchased a rosary there that I carry with me always. If I am every lucky enough to be in Paris again, I will be sure to make the trip to Montmartre again.
