The Panthéon was originally meant to be the final resting place of the relics of Ste-Genevieve, but it now serves as a deconsecrated, non-denominational mausoleum of some of France's most revered artists and writers, such as Rousseau, Voltaire, Zola and, most recently after an exhumation and the moving of his coffin, Dumas. It also has a tribute to the French Jews who survived the horrors of World War II.

But visitors often find their gaze divided between the final resting places of these distinguished Frenchmen and the stunning, vaulted open space that remains from its construction, completed in 1790. The Panthéon is one the world's best examples of early Neoclassical architecture. Don't forget to stay a moment on the exterior stairs and enjoy the view of the Eiffel Tower.

Doing what: Paris Pass

Intra-city travel within Paris is obnoxiously expensive! This provides you with Metro passes which you can utilize and save up on a lot of money! If you are not looking to splurge on travel within the city, then you definitely need to get these passes. Additionally, you get Skip The Line passes to various historical sights in the city which is a life saver as some of the tourist attractions can be very, very crowded! Also, you get a Bateaux Parisian boat ride which is worth taking!
