The skip-the-line entrance made it much easier as it was very cold and windy. That's why buying the ticket in advance made it easier, as we didn't have to stand in line to buy the ticket, which was long on the day of the visit!

The exterior

The Panthéon’s exterior is a magnificent example of neoclassical architecture. Its Corinthian columns and vast pediment, adorned with sculptures, set the stage for the grandeur inside.

The dome

Made entirely of stone, the dome features intricate paintings depicting Saint Genevieve's life. At 83 meters tall, it offers one of the best panoramic views of Paris, stretching across the city’s iconic landmarks.

The interior nave

Once inside, visitors are greeted by a vast, open nave adorned with intricate frescoes and marble sculptures that depict key moments in French history. The interior has a cathedral-like atmosphere, despite its secular purpose today.

Foucault’s pendulum

A major attraction, the 67-meter pendulum was installed in 1851 by French physicist Léon Foucault to demonstrate the Earth’s rotation. While the original pendulum was removed, a replica now swings in the Panthéon’s central hall.

The crypt

The crypt beneath holds the tombs of 76 historical figures, including Voltaire, Rousseau, and Marie Curie. Each tomb bears inscriptions detailing their contributions to French culture and history.
