Popular name of the church at the highest point of Paris (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sacre coeur

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'popular name' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'of the church at the highest point of paris' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
'church' could be 'ce' (abbreviation for Church of England) and 'ce' is found within the leftover letters.
'point' could be 's' (S is an example) and 's' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for sacre coeur that I've seen is " Paris landmark".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
