    The seventeenth arrondissement reaches from the Porte Maillot and the Ternes to the Batignolles and the Épinettes; to the east, the eighteenth takes in the hill of Montmartre. Nine of their churches are in the record.

    Saint-Pierre de Montmartre, consecrated in 1147, was the church of an abbey of Benedictine nuns. The others belong to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, from the memorial chapel of Notre-Dame-de-Compassion, built after the death of the duc d’Orléans in 1842, to Saint-Ferdinand-des-Ternes, completed in 1957. Between them stand the Sacré-Cœur, raised after a national vow, and Saint-Jean-de-Montmartre, one of the first churches built of reinforced cement.

    Saint-Jean-de-Montmartre has three recorded visits, four of the nine have two each, and the other four have one.
