Sacred Heart of Montmartre book in french

This special edition in French, entirely dedicated to the Sacré-Cœur, was written by Guy Boyer, the editor-in-chief, and was published in 2019.

This sanctuary is a spiritual oasis for all who come here: a place of welcome, prayer, peace, mercy, and strength. In Romanesque-Byzantine style, the basilica, recognizable by its white color, was built between 1875 and 1912 by the architect Paul Abadie. It was the result of a vow made by Alexandre Legentil and Hubert Rohault de Fleury to build a church in Paris dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The Sacré-Cœur, resplendent in its whiteness, is the second most visited site in Paris, surpassing the Louvre Museum and the Eiffel Tower.

After France's defeat in 1870 against Prussia, Alexandre Gentil and Hubert Rohault de Fleury vowed to build a sanctuary dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. After many twists and turns and a construction project lasting over sixty years, it materialized into a magnificent basilica.

Follow the incredible story of the Sacré-Cœur by reading this dedicated work. The book was written by Guy Boyer (Editor-in-Chief), and it is part of the Connaissance des Arts series, published in 2019.
