One of my favourite places in Paris is the Sacré Coeur which is a Roman Catholic Church located on the top of Montmartre hill. I have had the opportunity to see this beautiful white church building in the summer, autumn, winter and spring. It looks different on every occasion. Most visitors won’t have such a chance to see it in every season, but if you can, I recommend going to see it twice, by day and by night.
I have lots of memories of the Sacré Coeur. On my second day in the city I remember sitting on the steps below it watching the sun go down on the Parisian horizon while listening to two men busking. I couldn’t believe I had just moved to Paris and was sitting there on an autumn Sunday late afternoon. As I sat back I almost felt like I had become part of the famous French film “The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain”.
The Sacre Coeur is the perfect place to relive this film and so after every visit I pass by the bar Café des Deux Moulins on 15 rue Lepic at rue Cauchois. This bar is where Amélie worked in the film and it is exactly the same in real life. Inside there is a huge poster dedicated to the actress Audrey Tautou who played Amélie.
With cheap flights to Paris everyday it is easy to visit the capital of romance, fashion, culture and art.
