Paris Sacred Heart Dome Bell Looms Over Montmartre
La Savoyarde, Europe’s second largest bell outside Moscow, will be moved to the Sacred Heart dome in Paris. The 19 ton bell, once cracked, will soar above Paris, its sound reaching distant quarters and the countryside. The church dominates Montmartre with a 260 foot dome, begun in 1875, and built in the Romanesque-Byzantine style.
