Overview
Take a trip to Sacré Coeur de Montmartre on your France Vacation
When it comes to popular tourist destinations in the capital, the Sacré Coeur is second only to the Eiffel Tower. Located in the heart of the Montmartre neighbourhood and the 18th arrondissement, the basilica was built between 1875 and 1914, one of several white stone basilicas constructed in France at the end of the 19th century. The basilica was proposed as a way for France to make amends for its sins, which were believed to have led to its defeat in the Franco-Prussian war.
The Sacré Coeur is built in the Romano-Byzantine style. The vault of its apse is decorated with one of the world's largest gilded mosaics depicting Christ in Glory. The basilica is home to equestrian statues, notable Joan of Arc on horseback and King Saint Louis, and a 19-ton bell, one of the world's heaviest and largest. Its prominent dome is the highest point in Paris and requires climbing 292 steps to get to the top for sweeping city views. The basilica is open throughout the year. Entry is free, but you'll have to pay to climb the dome.

Dear Goway Travel Team!
I wanted to reach out and share some well-deserved praise for Jacqueline, who has assisted me closely with several of my travels. She recently curated a trip for me to Croatia, the beautiful islands, and Montenegro, and it was an absolute home run.
Jacqueline has an incredible ability to listen to her clients' needs and translate them perfectly into a flawless itinerary. Her articulation, guideline execution, and professionalism are unmatched. What sets her apart is her forward-thinking approach—she always knows the exact hotspots and trends, ensuring the pace of the trip matches my speed perfectly.
Everything transitioned seamlessly thanks to her attention to detail and care. She is a massive asset to your organization, and her consideration makes every vacation stress-free. I will absolutely continue to use her for all my future travels.
Kindest regards,

The Hot air balloon ride in the Masai Mara is a must…it’s breathtaking!Pam SeitzI have worked with Goway several times in the past two years and every single trip has been unforgettable. Specifically, our travel advisor, Maria, has helped us book phenomenal trips to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and most recently, Iceland. Maria is so wonderful and easy to talk to, but what really stands out is her ability to get to know her clients so she can plan trips that perfectly align with our interests and desires. I cannot recommend her strongly enough! Her expertise, hard-work, and dedication towards each trip has given myself, my family, and friends memories to last a lifetime!

Fantastic working with her.CTI have been booking with GoWay for more than 2 years and feel so fortunate to have the best Travel Advisor, Maria Spitman, making our vacations unforgettable. I can’t say enough about Maria… she is personable, efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable about her specialty destinations. We have booked many trips with her, including Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Iceland, and our most recent trip in Greece. Maria has not only curated nuanced itineraries, but has done so combining her vast knowledge of each region with our interests and needs being met perfectly. With that, it is evident that Maria learns about her clients to create vacation packages that far exceed expectations. I won’t book with anyone else! GoWay has a gem that is irreplaceable! I highly recommend seeking Maria out for all your destination needs. DarleenGoway has been amazing to work with. Farooq was my agent through Goway and she communicated promptly, planned a great international trip for my clients and was always organized.
