The Basilica of Sacré Coeur de Montmartre sits at the very top of Montmartre hill and, alongside the Eiffel Tower, is one of the most visible monuments of Paris. 

Pilgrims come from all over the world to pray here as well as thousands of tourists that file in and out to admire its beauty. Inside the basilica is a warm soundscape with the sound of shuffling visitors reverberating throughout the vast interior.
