Le cardinal andré vingt trois arrive aux dernières stations du chemin de croix à la basilique du sacré coeur à montmartre à paris.
Cardinal André is in the final twenty-three Stations of the Cross at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Montmartre in 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.

Never thought I could see this beautiful basilica with my own eyes!
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.

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".

Basilique du Sacre Coeur in Brüssel.
Die gigantische, knapp 100 Meter hohe Sacre Coeur - Basilika auf dem Berg der Barmherzigkeit ist eine der größten Kirchen der Welt.
Man hat mit dem Bau der Basilika erst 1905 begonnen, fertig war sie erst etwa 60 Jahre später.
Die Architektur, vor allem der Art Deco-Stil, ist außergewöhnlich und sehr interessant.
Die Basilika hat in ihrer heutigen Form eine Länge von 141 Metern (Hauptschiff) und hat eine Breite von 107 Metern (Querschiff).
Die Kuppel misst einen Durchmesser von 33 Meter.
Das Gebäude bietet Platz für rund 2.000 Menschen.
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.

Here is a mermaid from one of the pillars in the interior of the basilique. Look for her friend the merman - on the other photo!
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 neighborhood.
In front of Basilique du Sacré-Coeur, looking southeast over the 18th district (arrondissement 18e)... this was the first frost I'd seen of the quickly approaching winter.
In Paris, it is very easy to get overwhelmed with the broad, sweeping vistas and the brilliantly-lighted monuments — I surely did at times — but like any other place on the planet, the seasons come and go, bringing as awesome a view as any man-made edifice.
Some break dancing just in front of the Basilique du Sacre Coeur. Great expressions and they put on a really good show. Very few people stuck around afterwards to drop some money in their hat - disappointing.

Front doors at Basilique du Sacré Coeur (Basilica of the Sacred Heart), Paris, France. Doors are about 3.7 m (12 ft) tall.
Taken from Place du Tertre, which is a square in the quarter of Montmartre in Paris' 18th arrondissement, close to Sacré Coeur and the Lapin Agile. It's full of artists at their easels, wanting to do your portrait or sell you a painting - or both!
Basilique du Sacré Coeur is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, located at the summit of the butte Montmartre, the highest point in the city.
It was designed by Paul Abadie. Construction began in 1875 and finished in 1914. The basilica was consecrated after the end of World War I in 1919.

爬上長長的階梯，市區的山丘上有座純白色的教堂，前院有著為觀光客演奏的小提琴手、市集有販售著畫作的藝術家、閘門外有著拐騙觀光客的攤販。我想不起來在哪部電影看過那條長長的階梯，小丘上的巴黎令人無法想像的寬廣，俯瞰這座城市，想像有多少故事正在發生，以及有多少故事正準備畫下句點。
Pont Alexandre III is an arch bridge that spans the Seine, connecting the Champs-Élysées quarter and the Invalides and Eiffel Tower quarter, widely regarded as the most ornate, extravagant bridge in Paris.
The bridge, with its exuberant Art Nouveau lamps, cherubs, nymphs and winged horses at either end, was built between 1896 and 1900. It is named after Tsar Alexander III, who had concluded the Franco-Russian Alliance in 1892. His son Nicholas II laid the foundation stone in October 1896. The style of the bridge reflects that of the Grand Palais, to which it leads on the right bank.
