    Visit the Pantheon <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    A visit to the Pantheon is an extraordinary way to remember and honour those who have marked our history<\/strong> : Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Victor Hugo, Sadi Carnot, \u00c9mile Zola, Jean Jaur\u00e8s, Jean Moulin, Jean Monnet, Pierre and Marie Curie, Andr\u00e9 Malraux, Alexandre Dumas, Germaine Tillion, Pierre Brossolette…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the crypt, large panels, very educational<\/strong>, retrace the lives of some of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Men and women of letters and science, philosophers, political figures, resistance fighters during the war… These great personalities buried in the crypt have drawn the face of our national identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Pantheon is the masterpiece of the architect Soufflot, built between 1764 and 1790, was originally a church intended to house the reliquary of Sainte-Genevi\u00e8ve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It imposes by its height, by its proportions. The crypt and its maze of white stone corridors housing the tombs offers a strange walk that commands respect. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
