Is Sacré-Cœur Basilica worth it for history buffs?
DependsFor history
Sacré-Cœur Basilica offers some history & culture, but not enough to make it the reason to go.
The hilltop steps deliver a sweeping, free panorama over the whole city — reason enough to climb. Inside is calm and gilded; outside, the steps are a hangout (watch for the friendship-bracelet hustlers at the base).
