When you arrive in Paris one of the first monuments you will see is Sacré-Coeur of Montmartre. The Basilica of the 'Sacred Heart' is located at the top of Montmartre, the highest point of Paris. The Roman Catholic church was completed in 1914 and designed by architect Paul Abadie. The work was financed by gifts, often modest, from all over France. The names of the donors are carved in the stone. Trivia: the tower contains the "Savoyarde" a 19 tons bell.
