Self-cleaning white stone keeps it pristine, no matter the weather.
The basilica's unique travertine stone is the secret behind its brilliant, dazzling appearance. This masterpiece of Romano-Byzantine architecture stands on the highest point of Paris, offering a jaw-dropping view over the city. The basilica's self-cleaning travertine stone keeps its facade brilliant white in any weather, and its apse holds the largest mosaic in France, which took over 22 years to complete.
