Posted 1 year ago by patrick in response to ianis's question:
Where are the most famous writers of France burried? In Paris, I know, but could you give me more details?(give a different answer) .
It is the Pantheon, built in the 18th century as an abbey church dedicated to Ste-Genevieve, that is now the burial place of 80 important French figures, among who Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Victor Hugo, Emile Zola and Nobel Prize winner, Marie Curie. If you want to visit it take metro Luxembourg to Place du Pantheon. Visiting hours are 10 am to 6 pm, visiting fee is 4.50 to 7 euro.
