To get to Sacré-Coeur, get a metro ticket and,take the cable car to Montmartre from the Place Saint-Pierre. The ride is distinctive and picturesque.
Sacré-Coeur, also called "big meringue" by its detractors after its construction, owes its nickname to the whiteness of its stone (Chateau-Landon limestone) whose characteristic is to produce a white substance when in contact with the rain.

A few stories about the basilica

Before 1860, the upper part of the current site of Montmartre was called Maquis de Montmartre and was only a rural area composed of mills, vineyards, and wooden houses or even huts.
The construction and decoration of the basilica was carried out between 1877 and 1923, according to the plans of Paul Abadie, in a "Romano-Byzantine" style.
The basilica is financed by private donations. Nearly forty-six million francs were raised in 50 years thanks to the donations of nearly ten million followers.
The basilica is based on ancient gypsum quarries. 83 33 meter wells (108,2 feet) have been drilled and filled with cement, thus constituting the pillars of the foundation without which the building would be buried under its own weight.
