The Sacre Coeur Basilica seen from the gardens of Square Louise Michel in Montmartre

A bright daytime view of the Sacre Coeur Basilica framed through the vegetation of Square Louise Michel gardens. The basilica, built in travertine stone from Chateau-Landon that stays white thanks to the self-cleaning properties of the stone, stands against a blue sky dotted with clouds. The three main domes and bell tower are framed by the park trees, creating a contrast between the green of nature and the white of architecture. The monumental stairway climbing from the base of the hill is partially visible through the vegetation. This viewpoint allows appreciation of the imposing building dominating Paris from its elevated position at 130 meters above sea level.
