The Panthéon is a vast neoclassical mausoleum in the Latin Quarter where France honors its greats, including Voltaire, Rousseau, Marie Curie, and Victor Hugo. Beneath the dome hangs a working replica of Foucault's pendulum demonstrating the Earth's rotation, and you can climb to the colonnade for Left Bank views. The crypt is somber and the upper dome is seasonal, so check before planning to climb.
