- Basilique du Sacre-Coeur de Montmartre - The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Montmartre is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica situated in Paris, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Positioned atop the Montmartre hill, its dome, standing two hundred meters above the Seine, provides sweeping views of Paris and its outskirts. It ranks as the second most visited tourist attraction in the capital, following the Eiffel Tower. The basilica’s construction was initially suggested by Felix Fournier in 1870, after France’s defeat and Napoleon III’s capture during the Battle of Sedan in the Franco-Prussian War. Fournier attributed this defeat to the nation’s moral decline since the French Revolution and proposed a new Parisian church dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The Montmartre Abbey thrived over the centuries under the patronage of the French kings until the French Revolution.
