Bearings as the crow flies (great circle), measured from north. From somewhere else, the bearing changes: that’s the whole game.

Oùcécap’s take

Perched on top of the Montmartre hill, the Sacré-Cœur lies due north of the Pont Neuf: aim at 2°, 3.2 km away. The bearing barely changes from the Sainte-Chapelle (358°) or the Panthéon (357°). From the Eiffel Tower, though, you need to aim north-east, at 48°. And from the nearby Moulin Rouge, turn east, to 71°, 0.8 km.
