Greetings from Pantheon Admission Self-guided tour tickets available for Paris. Explore the beautiful neoclassical Panthéon, a secular tomb honoring France’s cultural heroes, from Marie Curie to Voltaire, beneath the tallest dome in Paris. Jacques-Germain Soufflot, the architect, planned to build a cathedral honoring patron saint Genevieve, but ended up creating an immense Roman-inspired monument to Enlightenment principles. Hugo to Zola, among other great names, were buried in the redesigned Pantheon following the Revolution.
Explore the ornate graves within the crypt below ground. An insightful display details Soufflot’s misguided goals: he never saw his completed masterwork, which even now battles with poor materials and expensive repairs. If traveling from April to October, take the twisting, narrow stairs up to the upstairs balcony for views of Paris that are out of this world.
Explore the Panthéon, a temple dedicated to commemorating the individuals who, since the French Revolution, have made major contributions to French history. Savor an intriguing half-hour of self-led exploration as you take in the skyline from greater vantage points.
This temple of French thought lets art and history buffs immerse in political transformations surrounding the Panthéon, from Bourbon spiritual hopes to Revolution deconsecrations then 19th century tug-of-war between church and state. Stroll through the nave visualizing storied processions once parading coffins of France’s brightest creative lights down the very aisle under your feet.
