Filming and photography
Filming
Filming is not usually authorized inside the Basilica, out of respect for the perpetual prayer taking place before the Holy Sacrament, which has been on display for over 125 years.
However, it is possible to film outside the gates of the Basilica, without the prior authorization of the Rector but subject to authorization from the City of Paris and the Paris Préfecture de Police.
