    Sacre Coeur

    It is interesting to learn the history of this beautiful Basilica that only became a national historic monument in 2022. It is built on the location where the Jesuit priests originated. There has been continuous adoration since 1885!Read more

    TravelerSo lucky to visit Sacre Coeur! It was still being resurrected from the fire when I was there two years ago!

    TravelerI'm sleeping in it! There's a 150 bed hostel run by the Benedictine nuns and volunteers. It's probably the cheapest place to sleep in Paris but you have to pray every night for at least an hour.
