Great Views of Paris with Kids, 7 of 10: Panthéon

The Panthéon is a domed 18th-century monument on the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, designed by the architect Soufflot. Under the dome, Foucault's pendulum swings on a 67-meter wire, its path slowly shifting as the Earth turns.
Below the nave, the crypt holds the tombs of Victor Hugo, Marie Curie and other figures France chose to honor. Best for school-age kids curious about science or history.
