Le Panthéon

Inspired by the Roman Pantheon, its French sister was built in 1744 on the order of Louis XV in honor of St. Genevieve as a thanksgiving for his recovery from a serious illness. After the Revolution, the Church became a cemetery, where such notables as Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo, and Zola, among others, are buried. The front of the temple is lined with 22 Corinthian columns and a dome inspired by St. Paul's in London, all supported by a surrounding colonnade.
