Sacre-Coeur

Share
Sacre-Coeur always looked small and cute to me, but when you get there you find that like many such attractions around Paris it is huge.  Inside a service was in progress, but for a small fee you could join the quiet crowd of tourists shuffling around the perimeter, around the behind the altar and back down the other side to exit where they came in.  We bought tickets also for the climb up to the base of the main dome, and down into the crypt below the church.

It was rather cold in the wind on the shaded side of the dome - much more pleasant on the warmer south side.
