| | Sacre Coeur |
 | | The Sacre Coeur, the Sacred Heart, is not a parish church but an independent sanctuary, a place of pilgrimage. |
 | | The Basilica of Sacre Cur is made of a travertine which exudes calcite, bleaching the stone with each rainfall so that it doesn't require cleaning of the city's pollutants. |
 | | The great bell of the Sacre Coeur, the Savoyarde, was cast in Annecy in 1895 and weighs 19 tons, one of the heaviest bells in the world. |
