Sacré-Coeur means Sacred heart. It is a Roman catholic Church Set on a high hill north of Paris. The moment you are in its proximity you will identify the white stone and three domes.  This is the second highest point in Paris after Eiffel tower.
It took nearly 39 years to build this Church. The construction started in 1875 and it was completed in 1914.
Due to its altitude and the unique location, it offers breath taking views of the city. Witnessing the sunset is one of the best experiences. 
The staircase is one of the popular area to hang out , there is street music performance.
Visiting Sacre-Coeur is not easy as you have to climb a lot of steps and walk from Montmartre.  This side of the city is very different from the other parts. You can relate to it compared to the main tourist locations.
This is the second most visited church after Notre Dam.
Inside the Basilica, there is a striking mosaic of Christ with a flaming heart gives the sanctuary an emotional and spiritual intensity. The sanctuary is lit with many candles
This is like the highest point of the city
When you climb on top, you can actually see the entire Paris City from this point , so it is really wonderful. If you are in Paris do visit this place.
Im at the steps of the Sacre Coeur and what you see behind is entire Paris City. It is really a spectacular view when you sit down and have a look, breathe , enjoy relax. You will have a good time here.

Scam alert;
As I was walking down the steps of Sacre Coeur, four African French guys approached me and they asked me if I would be interested in seeing a magic. I said I’m not interested.  They started getting aggressive and they were huge & strong. So one of them held me by the wrist and he was like very adamant that I see the magic and I still said I wouldn’t be interested. Luckily for me my Wife was like few steps back and she was seeing this happening. She charged there and asked them “How dare you touch my Husband”. Looking at her so adamant , they let me go. And Honestly it was quite scary. 

I will tell you whats happening here, there is a group called String men. What they do is , they will ask you if they can show you a magic and put a string in your hand. Then they will ask you for money so you can leave. Sometime it might be a polite scene and sometime it can get super aggressive. These are mostly con guys.  Don’t fall for this scam, best way is keep your hand very close to your body and try to avoid them.
