Sacre Coeur

Address: 35 Rue du Chevalier de la Barre.

The Sacré-Cœur (Sacred Heart Church) is considered controversial among Parisians. This is because for many it symbolizes the bourgeoisie and the liquidation of the Commune. Others hate its slightly eclectic style that makes it look like a cream cake.

And despite all this, the cold snap made it onto the list 10 must-see churches in Paris For two reasons. First, it cannot be ignored that since its construction was completed in 1914, it has become one of the symbols of the city of Paris. The reason is not only its special architecture but also its location on top of the highest hill in Paris. So, as Eiffel Tower, can be seen from almost anywhere in the city and is difficult to ignore.

Its elevated location leads us to the second reason why it is worth visiting. The panoramic view from it is simply spectacular. And if you listen to the wise advice of Joel Tamanlis And wait until dusk and you will discover that it is also very romantic.

This is a cabaret that has existed since 1860 and has hosted quite a few famous people, including Picasso, who used to sit there in his youth, and Georges Bressanone, who lived there. Nowadays, a super talented group of singers performs here, led by Yves Mathieu, and you can listen to both more and less well-known classic chansons here. Each of the singers here is insanely talented and gives immense respect to the chansons they sing.

In my opinion, this is a must-see place for all lovers ofFrench music And I find myself going back there time and time again because even though the show lasts about four hours, it's never enough.
