Yesterday, we went to Montmartre where is placed the "Basilique du Sacré-Coeur" and other cute places.
Here I join some of the views from the outside of the basilica and from the inside.

HDR della basilica cattolica in stile neo-bizantino, costruita tra il 1873 e il 1914, che sorge sulla collina di Montmartre.
Atrás da igreja está o Stade de France. Não parece, mas a distância deste à catedral é maior que a distância da igreja para a Torre Montparnasse, de onde a foto foi tirada.

A few minutes earlier, the gathering of people (at the left) was a bit larger as a ceremony of sorts took place for the purpose of turning on the lights in the square (place du Tertre). I joined in the countdown from dix to zéro and laughed with everyone else when the lights failed to turn on.
A second countdown proved more effective.
(I originally posted a single-frame version of this while in Paris.)
Best viewed bigger, in my opinion.
Front view - with a surprise visitor making a jump into the frame at the last second :-)
"The cooler version"
Since we were close to Montmartre we decided to go to the Sacre Coeur Basilica - big mistake. There was a wine festival going on and the entire area was completely packed - now we know how sardines feel! We got out of the crowd and ambled around Place du Tertre, watching the artists at work, and then ambled down the hill back to our room - what a great day!
I took these photos in early October 2016.

Lucky me to be able to visit Basilique du Sacré-Coeur on a beautiful sunny day like this!
Basilique du Sacré-Coeur
After the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, it was proposed to construct a church to the Sacred Heart on the butte Montmartre. Although originally the fund raising was by public subscription, in 1873, the National Assembly declared its construction to be a state undertaking. Of the 78 entries in the competition for its design, the one chosen was by the architect named Abadie. He was already well known for his restoration of the St-Front Cathedral in Périgueux.
The plans for the new basilica called for an edifice of Romano-Byzantine style, and the first stone was laid in 1875. Abadie himself died in 1884 with only the foundation having been completed.
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.

Night shot of the statue of the Archangel Michael on top of the Sacré-Coeur in Paris. Pretty difficult to get the tripod up considering how many people there were scurrying around me at the time.
This seem to be my most popular - views wise - picture: over 4000 views and still counting. Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Apparently the largest Art Deco building in the world, and the sixth largest church in the world as well. There's some further info in the Wikipedia

Basilique Sacré-Cœur, Montmartre

Sacré-Cœur reflected in the roof of a Mercedes in Montmartre...

Le cardinal andré vingt trois arrive aux dernières stations du chemin de croix à la basilique du sacré coeur à montmartre à paris.

The "Basilique du Sacré Coeur" in Paray-le-Monial. A monastry existing here since 974 became a dependency of nearby Cluny in 999. The first church "Paray I" was consecrated by Odilo of Cluny in 1004. Though enlarged later to "Paray II" by the still existing westwork and narthex, abbot Hugh of Cluny started the building of now existing church "Paray III" in 1090. As it has lots of similarities to the only little older "Cluny III", it is sometimes called "Small Cluny". Paray-Le-Monial played a role in the medieval pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.
Today pilgims are back. Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque lived here, a nun and mystic, who had visions in 1673. She promoted devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. So Paray-le-Monial now again is a place of pilgrimage in France. Even the patronage of the basilique changed in the 19th century from "Basilique du Notre Dame" to "Basilique du du Sacré Coeur".
I have already uploaded a lot of photos of Paray-le-Monial, I took during other visits. So I will only add some new photos, like this one. The "Basilique du Sacré Coeur" seen over the channel in the evening light.
The Place du Châtelet is a public square in Paris, on the right bank of the river Seine, on the borderline between the 1st and 4th arrondissements. It lies at the north end of the Pont au Change, a bridge that connects the Île de la Cité, near the Palais de Justice and the Conciergerie, to the right bank. The name "Châtelet" refers to the stronghold, the Grand Châtelet, that guarded the northern end of the Pont au Change, containing the offices of the prévôt de Paris and a number of prisons, until it was demolished in 1802-10.

The crossing tower, the transept, the choir and the radial chapels. I was lucky, as due to the construction works around the basilica, not a single car could be parked. First time I saw this without any parked cars.

As it has lots of similarities to the only little older "Cluny III", it is sometime called "Small Cluny". Looking though the nave to the altar. The nave is clearly higher, than the two aisles. The many windows trasnport lots of light into the church, especially around the apse, that is "crowned" by a fresco. All this, supported by the white walls and ocker pillars give a light impression. The interior was under renovation during recent years. This is the result of that.

I have already uploaded a lot of photos of Paray-le-Monial, I took during other visits. About a year ago, I found a beatiful mermaid on one of the many sculpted capitals in Paray-le-Monial. So this year l added a photo of one of her bearded male collegues, holding a fish.

Standing in the nave, near the crossing looking into the choir. Over years this area got renovated. There was an huge, ugly wooden wall installed in the nave. In 2010 I saw this choir the first time.
There is a yellow/red umbrella on the very right.. This is not an ordenary parasol. It is an "umbraculum" (aka "conopeum), one of the papal emblems of a "basilica minor".
