Sacré Coeur is one of the top priority sights when you visit Paris for the first time. The hill which the basilica is located on is with it's 129 meters the highest point in Paris.

The many and famous steps you can use to reach the Sacré Coeur can be quite the challenge for those of us who are not in the best physical shape. The funicular which runs paralleled with the steps can then be a most welcome alternative.
