Panthéon Paris Tickets: Skip the Ticket Line

About this tour

Reserve your admission to the Panthéon, the domed neoclassical monument crowning the Latin Quarter. Your ticket works on any date and at any time, so you can walk in without being tied to a slot. Inside, stand beneath the Foucault pendulum that proves the Earth turns, then head down to the crypt where Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas, and Marie Curie are buried. An information booklet is included, online or at the door.

Highlights

• A monumental neoclassical building modeled on ancient Rome, topped by a vast dome.
• The crypt holding the tombs of Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas, and Marie Curie.
• The Foucault pendulum swinging beneath the dome, a live demonstration of the Earth's rotation.
• A national mausoleum honoring the figures who shaped French history and culture.
• Panoramic views over Paris from the dome level when it's open, one of the city's quieter viewpoints.
• Set at the top of the Sainte-Genevieve hill, an easy walk from the Luxembourg Gardens, the Sorbonne, and Notre-Dame.
• A crypt that reads like a roll call of French thought, mixing politics, science, literature, and philosophy.

Visiting the Panthéon: What to See, Getting There, and Opening Hours

The visit works on two levels. The main hall is what hits you first, a huge space under a soaring dome, lined with frescoes that walk through France's national story. Hanging in the center is the Foucault pendulum, which quietly demonstrates the rotation of the Earth as it swings. Listen in the right spot and you'll catch the whispering-gallery effect the curved walls create, something most people walk right past. Downstairs is the crypt, the heart of the whole place, a hushed space holding the tombs of some of France's most important figures. Chapels, galleries, sculptures, and older artworks are scattered throughout, so there's more to the building than the two headline sights.

The Panthéon stands at Place du Panthéon in the Latin Quarter, central Paris, a short walk from the Luxembourg Gardens and the Sorbonne. By metro, take Line 10 to Maubert-Mutualité or Line 7 to Place Monge, both an easy walk from the entrance. On the RER, Line B stops at Luxembourg, roughly 10 minutes away on foot.

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