About Paris Pantheon
The Panthéon, a revered architectural masterpiece in the heart of Paris, is a testament to French history and intellectual prowess. It's also home to incredible artworks, such as the fresco "The Apotheosis of Saint Genevieve" by Antoine Gros. Discover the landmark with a visitor's guide on your side!
During the early 2000s, a secretive group called UX (Urban eXperiment) secretly built an underground cinema inside the Panthéon, complete with a screen, seating, and electricity. They were discovered in 2006.
The Panthéon's dome is three domes nested inside one another, creating an optical illusion when viewed from different angles. This gives the impression that it shifts and "breathes" as you move around it.
The Panthéon initially honored only men until 1995, when Marie Curie became the first woman entombed for her achievements in physics and chemistry.
From 1790 to 1889, the Panthéon held the distinction of being the tallest structure in Paris until the completion of the Eiffel Tower.
The Panthéon has a grave labeled Don Carlos, son of Charles III of Spain, but it's not the actual historical figure. Instead, it's a tribute to the Don Carlos character from Friedrich Schiller's play of the same name.
Why visit Paris Pantheon?
Highlights
Crypt
The crypt within the Paris Panthéon is a subterranean sanctuary, serving as the eternal abode for eminent figures in French literature, poetry, and science. Among those interred are luminaries like Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Victor Hugo, Émile Zola, Alexandre Dumas, and Pierre and Marie Curie. This hallowed space holds profound historical and cultural significance, offering a distinctive avenue to pay homage to individuals whose enduring contributions have left an indelible mark on French history.
Colonnade of the Panthéon
The Panthéon's summit, crowned by the Colonnade, presents breathtaking 360-degree vistas of Paris, encompassing iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, Montparnasse Tower, and the Arc de Triomphe. Accessible from April to October, ascending the 206 steps known as "les colonnades" is a prerequisite. This architectural marvel, adorned with Corinthian columns inspired by Greek temples, pays homage to its Roman predecessor, enhancing the monument's allure with its neoclassical elegance.
Foucault's Pendulum
Situated at the heart of the Panthéon's nave, Foucault's Pendulum, named after physicist Léon Foucault, provides a unique educational experience. Observing its movement from the ground floor, you can delve into the principles of Earth's rotation and physics. The exhibit commemorates Foucault's 1851 pendulum demonstration, establishing it as a captivating symbol of scientific discovery within the Panthéon's architectural grandeur.
The National Convention
Installed at the Panthéon, replacing the old apse altar, the National Convention, a monumental work by François-Léon Sicard, stands at 20 feet high. The centerpiece, Marianne, symbolizing the Republic, dominates the composition with the inscription "Live free or die." Realistic depictions of deputies, General Hoche, and Republican soldiers surround it, embodying the ideals of homeland, honor, combat, and freedom, making the sculpture aesthetically significant and a powerful mnemonic device.
The Rondelet Model
Jean Rondelet, the architect who succeeded Jacques-Germain Soufflot in constructing the Panthéon, crafted this 18th-century model. This miniature Panthéon model, reveales its interior from crypt to lantern, and still remains a valuable tool to comprehend the building's complexity, especially the triple dome construction. Preserved in various locations, it now resides in the Panthéon for the past 40 years, offering visitors interactive touch panels for an immersive exploration of its intricacies.
