Le Pantheon in Paris

Le Pantheon was built as a church between 1764 and 1790. Its huge coupole (right and below from inside) dominates Paris from the top of the Sainte-Genevieve hill on the Seine river left bank.

Le Pantheon stands at the heart of the Quartier Latin, the lively and intellectual traditional Paris student district, with among other institutions the Sorbonne university and the College de France.

During the 1789 french revolution and shortly after its construction, le Pantheon was turned into a memorial to illustrious Frenchmen.

It now houses among others the remains of Pierre and Marie Curie, the physicists who discovered radioactivity, Voltaire, Rousseau and Victor Hugo, three famous French writers and philosophers.

We recommend the area with, on one side, the rue Mouffetard (above) on the other, the Luxembourg garden. You are there in the heart of true Paris.

Le Pantheon stands in the middle of the Pantheon square (Place du Pantheon). It is close to Luxembourg metro station on RER B.

To conveniently visit the Pantheon, we recommend you to buy a museum pass in advance.
