Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving from central Paris (e.g., the Louvre area), head north on Rue de Rivoli. Follow signs for Boulevard de Magenta and continue onto Rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin. Take a slight left onto Boulevard de Strasbourg, then merge onto Boulevard de la Chapelle. Follow the signs for Porte de Clignancourt and continue on this road. Upon reaching the roundabout, take the 3rd exit onto Rue de la Chapelle. Continue straight, and then turn right onto Rue des Rosiers. Finally, turn left onto Place Saint-Pierre. The Sacré-Cœur Basilica will be on your right. Please note that parking in the area can be expensive and limited, so plan to arrive early or consider using a nearby parking garage.

• Metro

  To reach Sacré-Cœur by public transportation, take the Paris Métro. The closest station is Anvers (Line 2). From Anvers station, exit the station and follow the signs for Sacré-Cœur. You will need to walk up a steep hill to reach the basilica, which takes about 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, you can also take the funicular railway from the base of the hill, which costs approximately €1.90 and provides a scenic ride up to the entrance of the basilica.
