Pantheon

About

The Pantheon, located in the heart of Paris’s Latin Quarter, is a neoclassical masterpiece originally built as a church for Saint Geneviève before becoming a national mausoleum. Visitors enter through its grand portico and walk through a vast nave that houses the crypt where France’s most celebrated figures— from Voltaire and Rousseau to Marie Curie and Simone Veil— rest. The soaring dome, a marvel of 18th‑century engineering, crowns the interior, while the famous Foucault pendulum inside the transept offers a living demonstration of Earth’s rotation. The monument is freely accessible on selected days such as European Heritage Days and the first Sundays of the year, and offers guided and self‑guided tours in multiple languages for visitors who wish to delve deeper into the history and art that define this iconic Parisian landmark.
