EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the early 20th century, this photograph showcases the iconic Parisian landmark, Sacré-Cœur Basilica, perched atop the Butte Montmartre. The hill, known for its artistic and bohemian past, once required a strenuous climb for visitors seeking to witness the breathtaking view of the city from its summit. However, around the year 1904, a funicular was introduced, offering an affordable alternative to the steep ascent. The funicular, operated like a metro ticket, was a welcome relief for tourists and locals alike, allowing them to save energy and enjoy the scenic journey up the hill. The Sacré-Cœur Basilica, with its distinctive white facade and red roofs, stands proudly against the Parisian skyline, a testament to the architectural grandeur of the city. The Butte Montmartre, with its rich history and artistic heritage, has been a source of inspiration for artists and writers for centuries. The funicular not only made it easier for visitors to reach the Basilica but also opened up the hill to a wider audience, allowing them to explore the many attractions that Montmartre had to offer. This photograph, taken circa 1904, captures a moment in time when the funicular was a new addition to the Montmartre landscape, making the journey to the Sacré-Cœur Basilica more accessible and enjoyable for all.
