Inauguration in Paris of the exhibition “The guardians of Christ’s tomb”

Every year, more than ten million tourists visit the Basilica of the Sacré Coeur in Paris, the second most visited place in France after the Cathedral of Notre Dame.  As the Sacré Coeur closes the celebrations for the jubilee of one hundred years since its consecration, an exhibition for the general public is hosted for the first time on its railings. Twenty-nine photographs are on display, taken by  Thomas Coex, who was head of the photography department of the press office of the Agence France Presse (AFP) in Jerusalem from 2014 to 2019.
