Embark on an exploration of the Panthéon, an architectural gem crafted by Soufflot (1713-1780), which transitioned from a church to the final resting place for renowned figures from France’s Revolutionary era.
Discover a significant exhibition honoring Jacques-Germain Soufflot, lauded as one of France’s foremost architects. This exhibit takes you through his professional journey and remarkable projects, notably including the royal Church of Sainte-Geneviève, now known as the Panthéon.
Since Victor Hugo passed away in 1885, this grand space has become a burial ground for illustrious French writers, scientists, military leaders, clergy members, and political figures. The crypt is home to more than 70 prominent tombs featuring personalities such as Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile Zola, Alexandre Dumas; along with Pierre and Marie Curie.
From April to October visitors can enjoy stunning panoramic views over Paris from the recently refurbished upper levels.
