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.

Beneath the Panthéon

The crypt of the Panthéon Paris is an underground burial chamber that honors France’s most influential figures, from writers and philosophers to scientists and political leaders. Walking through the spacious, dimly lit corridors, you’ll encounter ornate tombs, engraved plaques, and historical inscriptions that tell the stories of those who shaped French history.
