Ascending the Sacre Coeur

Ascending the Sacre Coeur

Before planning for this trip, I didn’t even realize you could go up into the Sacre Coeur. After having a light lunch of soup around the corner, we went up the millions of steps to the top. We were rewarded with darling gargoyles and spectacular views. The weather was pretty gross for most of the trip but cleared up for a little while while we were up there. It was neat to learn that sixteen nuns live in one of the buildings right next to the church. It is definitely worth the hike to the top – as all Parisian attractions are – so go if you get the chance.
