Panthéon
Terhal
A massive neoclassical building atop the Sainte-Geneviève hill, converted from a church into a national mausoleum holding the remains of prominent French figures (Voltaire, Marie Curie, Victor Hugo); the crypt is quieter than the crowded upper floor. The upper terrace (seasonal, not always open) gives a different view over the Latin Quarter and a direct height comparison with Notre-Dame.
