Yes. Select the total number of visitors when booking. All tickets arrive together in a single confirmation email. Each person in your group enters under the same booking reference.

The Panthéon stands on the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève in the 5th arrondissement. The main entrance faces Place du Panthéon. Nearest métro stations are Cardinal Lemoine (line 10) and Maubert-Mutualité (line 10). The building's neoclassical façade and 83-meter-high dome make it unmistakable from the square.

Your ticket grants access to the monument's interior, the crypt where distinguished French figures rest, Foucault's pendulum demonstration, and the panoramic terrace offering views across the city. Guided tours and special exhibitions may require separate arrangements. The concierge tier covers standard admission; any premium add-ons are noted at booking.

The main floor and crypt are accessible. The panoramic terrace, reached by a long staircase, is not wheelchair-accessible. The operator provides detailed accessibility information on-site. If you have specific requirements, let us know at booking so we can confirm current provisions and arrange any available assistance with the operator.

Children of all ages are welcome. Under-26 EU residents enter free when presenting valid ID at the door. The interior is quiet and reverent—appropriate for older children interested in history and architecture. Strollers are permitted on the main floor but cannot access the terrace stairs. Family-friendly guided visits are available through the operator.

Photography for personal use is generally permitted in the main hall and crypt. Flash, tripods, and commercial filming require advance authorization from the operator. Foucault's pendulum and the interior frescoes are popular subjects. Respect signage in areas where photography is restricted, particularly during ceremonies or special events.

Bring your digital ticket (on your phone or printed), valid photo ID, and comfortable shoes—the monument involves walking and stairs to the terrace. A light jacket is advisable; the stone interior stays cool year-round. Large bags and backpacks may be subject to security screening. Leave prohibited items (sharp objects, large luggage) at your accommodation.

Most visitors spend 60 to 90 minutes exploring the main hall, crypt, pendulum, and terrace. If you join a guided tour or linger over the frescoes and tombs, allow two hours. The panoramic terrace alone warrants 15 to 20 minutes. Plan extra time if you wish to visit nearby attractions in the Latin Quarter.

The Panthéon is entirely indoors except for the rooftop terrace. Rain or cold will not affect your experience of the crypt, pendulum, or interior architecture. The terrace remains open in most weather; only severe conditions prompt temporary closure. If you prefer to reschedule, contact us and we rebook to another open slot at no charge.

The crypt holds the remains of distinguished French citizens, including Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo, Marie Curie, and more recently Joséphine Baker. The monument, originally designed by architect Jacques-Germain Soufflot and completed in the 18th century, was repurposed as a mausoleum during the Revolution. Each tomb is marked with biographical plaques.

Yes. The panoramic terrace at the base of the 83-meter dome is accessible via a staircase (not wheelchair-accessible). From the terrace you see rooftops across the Latin Quarter, the Seine, and landmarks throughout the city. The climb is part of the standard admission. The interior of the dome itself, with its frescoes, is visible from the main floor below.

A small boutique near the exit sells books, postcards, and souvenirs related to the Panthéon and French history. No café operates inside the monument. Numerous cafés and restaurants line the streets around Place du Panthéon, ideal for a meal or coffee before or after your visit. The Latin Quarter offers abundant dining options within a short walk.

A free-swinging pendulum installed by Léon Foucault in 1851 with a 28-kilogram bob on a 67-metre wire. The swing plane stays fixed relative to the stars while the Earth turns beneath it — at the latitude of Paris, the apparent rotation is about 11.3 degrees per hour, completing a full revolution in roughly 31 hours 50 minutes.

No. It was commissioned by Louis XV in 1744 as the church of Sainte-Geneviève, completed in 1790, and has swung between church and secular mausoleum five times since — secularised in 1791, returned to religion in 1816, secularised again in 1830, returned to religion in 1852, and made definitively secular in 1881. Victor Hugo's 1885 interment marked the start of the current designation.

The closest stations are Cardinal Lemoine (Line 10, 350 m east) and Maubert-Mutualité (Line 10, 500 m north). The RER B stops at Luxembourg, a 500-metre walk west through the Jardin du Luxembourg. Bus lines 21, 27, 38, 82, 84 and 89 stop within 200 metres of the entrance on Place du Panthéon.

The Panthéon is a neoclassical monument in the Latin Quarter of Paris, standing atop the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève in the 5th arrondissement. Commissioned by Louis XV and designed by the architect Jacques-Germain Soufflot, it was built between 1758 and 1790, originally as a church dedicated to Saint Geneviève, the city's patron saint. During the Revolution it was converted into a secular mausoleum honouring distinguished French citizens, and its crypt now holds the remains of figures such as Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo, Émile Zola and Marie Curie. The building is crowned by a great dome rising eighty-three metres above the square, encircled by a colonnade, and fronted by a Corinthian portico. Beneath the dome, Foucault's pendulum swings continuously, demonstrating the rotation of the Earth to each passing visitor who pauses to watch its slow, hypnotic arc.

The Panthéon sits at the summit of the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève in the 5th arrondissement, facing the Place du Panthéon. The nearest Métro stations are Cardinal Lemoine and Maubert-Mutualité, both on line 10, each a short walk from the entrance. The RER B stops at Luxembourg to the west, from where you can stroll up through the Luxembourg Gardens and climb the hill to the monument. Several bus routes, including lines 21, 27, 38, 82, 84, 85 and 89, stop within a few minutes' walk. By car the approach is awkward: street parking is metered and scarce, and the surrounding lanes are narrow, so public transport is far simpler. From much of the Latin Quarter the walk is pleasant though consistently uphill, as the monument crowns the highest point on the Left Bank, so allow extra time if you have mobility concerns.
