While the bells were ringing...

...on Christmas morning.

Pendant que sonnaient les cloches du matin de Noël…

The Basilica of the Sacré-Coeur (Sacred Heart) was built just after the 1870 war against Prussia. Following the defeat, a consensus emerged in Paris for the construction of this basilica in reparation for the spiritual faults committed which, for some, were the cause of defeat. It was consecrated to the Heart of Christ. It is the second most visited religious monument in Paris after Notre-Dame Cathedral.

Elle fut consacrée au Cœur du Christ. C’est le deuxième monument religieux le plus visité à Paris après la cathédrale Notre-Dame.
