Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, Paris.

Have you seen this place before?

This is Basilique du Sacré-Cœur - the Roman Catholic church in Paris, France.

The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris, commonly known as Sacré-Cœur Basilica is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in Paris, France. A popular landmark, the basilica is located at the summit of the butte Montmartre, the highest point in the city.

Sacré-Cœur is a double monument, political and cultural, both a national penance for the supposed excesses of the Second Empire and socialist Paris Commune of 1871 crowning its most rebellious neighborhood, and an embodiment of conservative moral order, publicly dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which was an increasingly popular vision of a loving and sympathetic Christ.

At the bottom are some stalls selling Paris souvenirs and so on.

There's even a little carousel ride there too.

This is me here, at the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur.

Did you know that this place appeared in the TVB 2008/2009 hit drama series, The Gem of Life??? It is the place where Constance (Gigi Lai) and Terrence (Moses Chan) had their honeymoon. It appeared again when Constance visited Paris to reconcile with Terrence.

Completed in 1914, it was not consecrated until 1919 after World War I had ended. The final cost was 40 million francs. Since 1885, there has been perpetual adoration and worship within. The interior of the church contains one of the worlds largest mosaics, and depicts Christ with outstretched arms. The nearby bell tower contains the "Savoyarde''. Cast in Annecy in 1895, it is one of the worlds heaviest at 19 tons.
