I took this image during my second visit in Paris with a friend last August 2010.

The construction of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Paris begun in June 16, 1875.

I should use Nikon binoculars to have a better look of this historical building. We just stayed in this square watching the basilica because we don't have much time for going up to the hill for sightseeing. I also read that taking pictures inside the basilica is forbidden.
