The
Panthéon’s iconic silhouette and dome is perched at the top of the Montagne
Sainte-Geneviève, the historic hill of the Latin Quarter.
Since the
days of the French Revolution, this former church, dedicated to the patron
saint of Paris, has housed a necropolis, in its crypt, of well-known French
figures: Victor Hugo, Marie Curie, Alexandre Dumas, etc.
From April
to October, tourists can enjoy the fine views of the capital from the colonnade
of the dome.
