PANTHÉON
Monument
( place du Panthéon, 5e; adult/child €8/free; 10am-6.30pm Apr-Sep, to 6pm Oct-
Mar; Luxembourg)
The Panthéon is a superb example of 18th-century neoclassi-
cism, but its ornate marble interior is gloomy in the extreme. The 80-odd permanent
residents of the crypt include Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Victor Hugo, Émile
Zola, Jean Moulin and Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie, whose remains were moved
here in 1995 - the first woman to be interred here.
