Holiday of a Lifetime in Europe - PARIS (Sacré-Coeur & Moulin Rouge)

Paris, a huge city with many world-class sights to visit. Luckily, there are some sight-seeing which are free of charge. Sacré-Coeur is one of them !

Sacré-Coeur, a church, was built on Montmartre hill. There was massive number of tourists and even locals flocked to this attraction. The photo below said it all.


We did some research that Sacré-Coeur is one of the popular sights to visit but we did not know why. Yes, the white-washed building with it's dome roofs is beautiful and we have taken a number of photos of it. Checked.


The Europeans simply planted themselves on the green grass slope to enjoy the sun and do people-watching. Checked.


The rather beautiful city landscape revealed itself slowly as you climbed up the slopes on the hill. Checked.


BUT it was really the beautiful interior of the church that really took your breath away ! Sorry, no photos allowed even though I was so tempted to take secretly. Out of respect for the religion, I have decided not too. The large church was having a mass when we entered the church, they still allow tourists to explore the church which was most grateful.

After such a wonderful visit to a grand church, we went to another near-by "attraction". (depending on how you define this place)

As you walked down the road leading to our next attraction, naughty shops and theatres caught your attention. Yes, we were going down towards Moulin Rouge. From a site of Saint to a site of Sins ! Of course, we just to see the famous red mill of Moulin Rouge which was established in 1889 as the music hall of Paris.

Adult entertainment was performed daily and kiddos are not allowed.
