It's been a while since I've shown you Sacré Coeur. I swear it's not a mock-up, although it may look like one ;-) I took this photo from far away in the 18th arrondissement and I don't think I've ever photographed it from that side. Anyway, by now, you probably already know this church by heart. It's located on top of Montmartre, was built around 1875 and 1914, and it's one of the major landmarks of Paris (and apparently the 5th most visited place in France. I bet you cannot guess what the top 4 are!)
Most visited places in France: certainly Disneyland, Cathedral Notre Dame de Paris, and Chateau Versailles are among those, along with Sacre Coeur and Mont Saint Michel.
ReplyDeleteIt almost looks FAKE it is so fairyland beautiful looking in your photograph.
ReplyDeleteMost visited? Oh PAHLEAAZEE hold me back from making jokes......
Oh!!!le Sacré Coeur!!!many good remembers
ReplyDeleteNice wedding cake photo! If we count places to eat in the most visited French landmarks we'd have something entirely different now, wouldn't we? :-)

My top four most visited are:
ReplyDelete1.Paris Daily Photo.
2.Most (you know what I mean) bars/cafes in the Marais/Bastille.
3.The banks of the Seine, drinking champagne preferably.
4.The toilets in BHV (usually after 2 and 3 above).
Hi Monica, Drummond (aka Coltrane) here. I also see a pattern here.
Tell you what, I'll give up alcohol for Lent if you give up sweets.
On second thoughts.....
Drummond...LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'll ever get to know this by "heart", Eric, so keep the photos coming! This is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteMy top 5 list guess would have to be:
La Tour Eiffel
Arc de Triomphe
La Louvre
Versailles
Sacre Coeur
All places I would love to visit! :)
LOL Drummond!!!
ReplyDeleteI can give up sweets in general, but macarons, never!!!!! Specially cause I don't have the chance to eat them very often, so whenever I do...
Put a small box of those precious colored little things in front of me and you'll see what happens. Eric already knows ;)
On second thoughts...I would trade it for sipping champagne in the banks of the Seine, now THAT is somenthing to dream about!!!
And haha, Monica! I'd have a hard time choosing a top five for food in Paris—a top 20 maybe (though when I was just there, Ladurée was visited more than once). Gotta love that long lens, Eric!
ReplyDeleteIsn't the most visited place in France ParisDailyPhoto.com? If not, it should be.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mrs Vandertramp, and also with Chartres cathedral, Notre Damme, le Louvre ans so you, Congrats Pierre to carry on a so nice blog!
ReplyDeleteSoooooooooooo ! I see that a lot of you searched the Internet (not Monica LOL!). In fact it all depends on whether you take into account Paris only or France in general.
ReplyDeleteSo for Paris (only), the list is:
- Notre-Dame de Paris
- Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre
- Musée du Louvre
- Tour Eiffel
- Centre Georges-Pompidou
I know this church of Montmartre...thanks for taking time to write this post
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty anyway this shot.
ReplyDeleteespetacular!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG... I can see our apartment in the photo! LOL! We love living just next door to Sacre Coeur... we have a double view, with the church on one side and a view looking over the northeast part of Paris on the other, and those are the windows I see in your photo! Merci, c'est super!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful building this had been
