The Sacré-Cœur Basilica (Basilique du Sacré-Cœur) is a stunning white-domed church located at the highest point in Paris, on the hill of Montmartre. Built between 1875 and 1914, it was dedicated as a symbol of hope and national unity after the Franco-Prussian War. Its unique Romano-Byzantine architectural style and iconic, luminous white facade (thanks to Château-Landon stones that whiten with rain) make it one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks

I chose the neighborhood Montmartre, because this historic neighborhood offers charming cobblestones streets, quaint cafés, and the iconic Sacré-Coeur Bacilica, which provides stunning panoramic vista of Paris. The area's rich history as a haven for artists, including famous figures like Picasso and Van Gogh, is palpable in its many galleries and street performances. Additionally, Montmartre's lively atmosphere, paired with a diverse range of restaurants and shops, ensures an authentic Parisian experience, all while being conveniently located near the heart of the city’s attractions.

It seems like everybody has a wine cellar in Burgundy. Just on this very day, we visited three wine cellars of Monique's family. We started with selection from Meursault at noontime.

The Notre-Dame Church is part of the “Climats, terroirs of Burgundy” UNESCO World Heritage designation. This connection highlights its importance as a cultural monument integral to Burgundy's wine-producing region and its medieval heritage
