Traveler reviews
Emma
★★★★★7 months agoBreathtaking view overlooking Paris! We went near sunset and it was gorgeous. Lots of people taking in the view just sitting on the steps and having a snack. It is a bit of a climb up the stairs but so worth it - just take your time! It seems like there is also a short cable car that can help people get up the hill as well.
Josh
★★★★★a month agoA large hilltop precipice looking dramatically down as the vast city of Paris unfolds below. You can pick out all the city's major central and western monuments. It's worth spending a whole afternoon in the area to see the view in the daytime and at night. There is typically music being performed, vendors, a tiny train, many sightseers, and a sense of excited camaraderie. The church itself is worth walking through, as are the surrounding streets and parks.
