Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My twin brother Stephen and I were walking up to the magnificent Sacre Coeur and passed through Square Nadar ,a cute little park that offers great views of the Sacre Coeur,in this park is this great statue in honour of Chevalier De La Barre.
Francois Jean Lefebvre De La Barre ( 1745-1766 ) was a French nobleman ,considered a victim of the then Catholic religious intolerance to the followers of such figures as Voltaire.
For not saluting a Catholic procession and other similar petty charges brought against this man he was imprisoned ,tortured ,eventually he was beheaded before his body was burnt with a copy of Voltaire's " Philosophical Dictionary " nailed to his torso ,a truly horrendous end to a man of beliefs ,the statue which as unveiled in 2000 is well detailed and the work of sculptor Emmanuel Ball and well worth checking out if you're near the Sacre Coeur or Square Nadar .

Just one of the many statues dotted around the area that we randomly walked past. We had no idea who it was and we didn't spend long looking at it, other than to glance at it as we walked on by.
