Montmartre First Light
Soft morning calm on the basilica steps. “First Light” is the visual mood—you can choose it whenever your visit is verified.
Sacré-Cœur
A visit worth keeping.
Visit and verify your arrival in Unlocked to keep this badge and your visit date in your free Passport. No subscription.
The white basilica watches Paris from the city’s highest hill, and the whole slope below it is part of the photograph: steps, lanes, and rooftops falling away toward the center.

Earn the hill, then choose your angle.
From below, the full sweep of domes and steps needs distance—shoot from the rue de Chevalier de la Barre curve rather than the bottom of the stairs.
The steps are a public living room: keep groups, sitters, and street artists out of your forced perspective, and ask before photographing anyone up close.
Interior visits are welcome but separate: the basilica asks for quiet, no photos inside, and modest dress.
Three ways to remember Sacré-Cœur.
Choose a curated Experience after you unlock this Landmark. The previews show creative directions, not customer results. Memories are generated interpretations, not documentary photographs of the scene.
Paris Overlook
A composed hilltop portrait above the city’s rooftops. The overlook frames the memory; your verified presence is what the unlock records.
Artist Quarter on Film
A candid analogue moment in the lanes of Montmartre. The film character is generated; no session with a street artist is included.

Before you choose.
Where does the Sacré-Cœur unlock work?
Inside the supported area around the basilica and its forecourt. The view from Trocadéro or a Seine bridge is not arrival—open the map and unlock while you are on the hill.
Is there an entry fee?
No. The basilica is free to enter, the steps and forecourt are public, and the Unlocked unlock is free. The dome and crypt are the only ticketed parts.
Can I take photos inside the basilica?
The basilica asks visitors not to photograph inside. Every Unlocked Experience works from your own reference photo taken outside, so the visit and the Memory never require interior photography.
