Basilique du Sacre 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 building was started in 1875. In 1884, Abadie died with only the foundation finished. The building was finally completed in 1914, but was not consecrated until 1919, after World War 1. The interior of the church contains one of the worlds largest mosaics, and depicts Christ with outstretched arms. The nearby bell tower contains the &#8220;Savoyarde&#8221;. Cast in Annecy in 1895, it is one of the worlds heaviest at 19 tons.

Louvre - Paintings : Paintings are hard to photograph in a museum. Generally, the lighting isn't the best, and if there is any direct light, it leaves a glare spot, as does a flash.

Around Town : Pictures of some of the sites I was able to see and photograph as I wondered a bit. The pictures are mostly of buildings and artwork, as well of some new friends in the tour group. As you can from the few pictures here, the city is an art gallery in itself.
