The Pantheon : Paris, FR
One of the last sites we visited before leaving Paris was the Pantheon. Located in the Latin Quarter, the Pantheon is France's final resting place of its literary, political, artistic, scientific, and religious heroes. Voltaire, Rosseau, Victor Hugo, and Marie Curie are just a few of the prominent French citizens buried in the crypt of this non-denominational church.
To see a few more pictures of the Pantheon from my visit last August and our visit this January, go to my Picasa Web Album. This wraps up our trip to Paris. We had a really good time and saw a lot of great art, monuments, and landmarks. But, as is always the case with this beautiful city, there is more yet to see. I can guarantee I'll be going to Paris again!

What a great looking place!
The Pantheon was the last thing we saw too! I wonder why...
James: It's a pretty cool site. It's also one of the few places you can go in Paris during the summer and cool off. Keep that in mind when you're in Paris in July. The Pantheon is near the Jardin du Luxembourg, which is also lovely and worth visiting.
Maya: Well, in our case, I think it was because it was near our hotel and the train station. In the case of me and Janeen, it was on her must-see list and we figured we could do it along with going to La Duree, then back to our apartment, and then over to the train station. P.S. It was FREEZING in there the day she and I went. Great for the summer, not so great in the winter!
Beautiful.
