7Sacré-Cœur Basilica (Basilique du Sacré-Cœur)

Perched atop Montmartre hill, the Sacré-Cœur Basilica offers one of the best views of Paris. This gleaming white basilica, with its Romanesque-Byzantine architecture, contrasts beautifully with the bohemian streets of Montmartre.

Inside, the basilica boasts one of the largest mosaics in the world, depicting Christ in glory. The steps outside are a popular spot for both locals and tourists to relax, enjoy the view, and listen to street performers. Montmartre itself is a historic area, once home to famous artists like Picasso and Van Gogh, making it a perfect place for a leisurely stroll.
