- Tours sold 'with Sacré-Cœur entry' usually visit the free basilica, not the paid dome.
- The basilica opens at 6:30, not 6:00.
- The Paris Moulin Rouge is not closing; the Broadway musical 'Moulin Rouge!' closed on 26 July 2026.
- The Starry Night (1889) is at MoMA, New York; Starry Night Over the Rhone (1888) is at the Musee d'Orsay, Paris.
