Enigmatic miracles of Sacré Coeur

The Sacre-Coeur basilica occupies the top of Montmartre. The fruit of Guilt,
Montmartre tried to forget its role played during the commune.
From the inside rather similar to an orthodox church, no clear sign of the Gothic church inside.
The Sacre-Coeur, the dedication has not gone away for a moment from the sanctity of worship. Among other things, even when it was in 1941, a few German fighter shot a series by machine guns around the church. Nobody was hurt, and this is considered a major miracle.
It is also a fact that the Sacre-Coeur indeed a religious center, while at Notre Dame or Saint-Denis, now only tourist attractions.

    Me again, coming back to check for updates. That’s a funny story of Edward, the Prince of Wales, being taught how to drink cognac properly.

    Hello, Even if France is the country of Cognac, it was very difficult to find a shop in which main products of the great Houses are available. Since a few month, this shop is born : http://www.cognac-paris.fr/ enjoy it :-))

    Your museum tips are very useful. As you know such tips are the peak of our interests on VT. Unfortunately, we have never been to Paris, and we will not for at least a year.
