Sacre Coeur

After the flea market, we went to the highest point in the city. It was a hike uphill.
Here we visited the Sacre Coeur. It is a very old Roman Catholic church. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside but it was so beautiful. We were there on Sunday. Lots of people were praying. Nuns were playing organs and singing. Of course we couldn't understand anything but it was very moving. There were huge murals of Jesus on the ceiling and walls.

Here is the outside....


We decided to go for it and climb up the 300 stairs, carrying the boys, to see the view that the top of the dome is known for. It was a haul and extremely tiring but it was worth it. You can see the entire city from the top of the dome.

Going back down
