Alameda resident Geri Kaman recently visited France. Here she is with the Alameda Sun at the foot of the funicular that leads up to Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Montmartre, Paris. The system carries passengers between the base of Montmartre and its summit, accessing the nearby Sacré-Cœur Basilica and paralleling the adjacent staircases of Rue Foyatier. Sacré-Cœur Basilica, which is located at the summit of the butte Montmartre (the highest point in the city) is the second most visited monument in Paris.
