Welcome to Panthéon Admission Ticket tour with self guided in Paris. Soar under Paris’ largest dome inside the magnificent neoclassical Panthéon, a secular mausoleum honoring France’s cultural icons from Voltaire to Marie Curie. Conceived as a church glorifying patron saint Genevieve, architect Jacques-Germain Soufflot instead created an epic Roman-inspired tribute to Enlightenment ideals. After the Revolution, the reinvented Panthéon interred towering figures from Hugo to Zola.
Below ground, discover the crypt’s elaborate tombs. An illuminating exhibit chronicles Soufflot’s doomed ambitions: he never saw his finished masterpiece, which struggled against flawed materials and demanding renovations even today. Climb narrow winding stairs to the attic balconies for heavenly Paris views, if visiting April-October.
Discover the Panthéon, a shrine honoring the men and women who have made significant contributions to French history since the French Revolution. Enjoy a fascinating hour of self-guided touring while admiring the cityscape from the higher levels.
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.
Entrance to the Panthéon, Place du Panthéon, 75005 Paris. Please note that this attraction closes at 4:00 PM on 24th December and 31st December.
