About this tour

This ticket gets you into the Panthéon, the neoclassical landmark atop the Sainte-Geneviève hill in the Latin Quarter. Inside, you'll walk the huge main nave under the dome, watch the Foucault pendulum trace the Earth's rotation, and head down to the crypt where Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo and Marie Curie are buried. Admission is valid on any date and time, so you decide when to go, and you get an information booklet to guide your visit.

Planning Your Panthéon Visit: Inside, Hours and Getting There

The Panthéon sits at Place du Panthéon in the Latin Quarter, central Paris, a short walk from the Luxembourg Gardens and the Sorbonne. It's easy to reach by public transit: take metro Line 10 to Maubert-Mutualité or Line 7 to Place Monge, both a few minutes on foot, or ride RER Line B to Luxembourg station, about a 10-minute walk away.

Inside, the vast main nave opens up first, with its soaring dome, monumental scale and frescoes tracing France's history. Beneath the dome hangs the Foucault pendulum, which visibly demonstrates the Earth's rotation, and the curved walls produce an odd whispering-gallery effect that's easy to miss. Downstairs, the crypt is the heart of the visit, holding the tombs of Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo, Marie Curie and other figures honored for their lasting mark on the country. Chapels, galleries and sculptures throughout add further context.

The Panthéon is open daily, with hours that shift by season: 10:00 to 18:30 from 1 April to 30 September, and 10:00 to 18:00 from 1 October to 31 March. Last entry is always 45 minutes before closing. On the first working Monday of each month the monument opens late at 12:00, and on 24 and 31 December it closes early at 17:00 (last entry 16:15). It's closed on 1 January, 1 May and 25 December.
