Private Guided Tour of the Paris Pantheon

A veritable museum of French history, the Panthéon was built on the initiative of King Louis XV and inaugurated in 1781. The Greco-Roman style building was intended to be a church in honour of the patron saint of Paris, Sainte Geneviève.

It was not until 1885, when Victor Hugo's ashes were laid to rest there, that the building retained its function as a Pantheon (until today).

Accompanied by a tour guide, you will explore the different areas of this exceptional building to discover Foucault's pendulum, the narrative frescoes on the life of the patron saint of Paris, and the tombs of illustrious figures since the Revolution.

And don't forget the 360-degree panorama offered by the peristyle dome, undoubtedly the best view in Paris!

A private, tailor-made tour so you don't miss a thing!

Your visit begins at the main entrance to the Panthéon, where your guide will welcome you for an immediate immersion in the history of the monument. Originally built as a church dedicated to Sainte-Geneviève, the Pantheon became a place of national remembrance over the centuries.
