Trip to France - Part 17 - Pantheon, Paris
![Pantheon 1.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmQFhCQtfYfGq69HrL6rLoTas7CfzXexWKNUPUn84hjv91)

Built as a church on the highest point of the left bank of the river, the Pantheon was turned into a kind of temple of reason and enlightenment by the French Revolution. Visiting it as a tourist serves a lot of different purposes. The first is that it’s in one of the most interesting Paris neighbourhoods, right next to the Sorbonne and the Jardin du Luxembourg, the rue Mouffetard, and the hustle and bustle of the Latin quarter.

The second is that it’s an interesting building, with a very elegant if austere and solemn architecture. The third is that it’s showcasing the best and the brightest of modern France since the Age of Enlightenment, it’s like walking through a history book. If you are interested in politics, philosophy, literature or science, prepare to meet at least one of your heroes here, albeit in the form of a sarcophagus containing his or her spoils. 

More often his than hers, admittedly, but France has seen her past errors and started to celebrate famous women here with hints at special intensity. Do some research online or in a guide on who is buried here, your thoughts will dwell on them inevitably as you walk the solemn silence of the crypt.

Foucault’s pendulum provides another highlight and then, if you bring more time for a guided - or rather, a guarded - visit and pay the slight supplement, you can visit the roof and enjoy an extraordinary view from what is a vantage point equal to the top of the Eiffel Tower - just as high, but in a much better place to see the most important other monuments, and to appreciate the development of the city of Paris over time from one of the oldest quarters. 

Last but not least, it draws a much smaller crowd than all similar vantage points, and thus provides a much better and more intimate experience.
