| A
word about "Le Pantheon" :
During the French Revolution the Church of Sainte Geneviève was
secularized and became a temple dedicated to great statesmen, as
reflected by the bas relief sculpture on the pediment, showing France
bestowing crowns of laurel with the inscription "From a grateful
motherland to the great men of France". Mirabeau was the first great man to be buried in the Pantheon, which would also become the tomb of Voltaire and Rousseau. The building was restored to its original purpose for a time before being made definitively a temple in 1885 when Victor Hugo was entombed there. Pierre, Marie Curie and Alexandre Dumas recently were the lasts to be buried in this highly symbolic monument. |
