Pan­théon

About

The Pan­théon, a com­mand­ing tem­ple ded­i­cat­ed to French his­to­ry and achieve­ment, dom­i­nates the Latin Quar­ter sky­line. Its im­pres­sive neo­clas­si­cal ex­te­ri­or only hints at the won­ders that await in­side. Step­ping through its doors, the sheer scale and grandeur of the in­te­ri­or is awe-in­spir­ing. Sun­light pours through the enor­mous dome, il­lu­mi­nat­ing the in­tri­cate mo­saics and sculp­tures that adorn the walls. De­scend into the crypt, the true heart of the Pan­théon, and feel

a sense of qui­et rev­er­ence as France hon­ors its most cel­e­brat­ed fig­ures. Me­an­der through the dim­ly lit cor­ri­dors and dis­cov­er the fi­nal rest­ing places of icons such as Voltaire, Rousseau, Vic­tor Hugo, Marie Curie, and Alexan­dre Du­mas. Each memo­r­i­al re­flects their re­mark­able con­tri­bu­tions to French cul­ture, sci­ence, and phi­los­o­phy. More than a sim­ple tourist des­ti­na­tion, a vis­it to the Pan­théon is an ex­plo­ration into the very essence of France.
