temple de la nation!
Centre des monuments nationeaux.
In the year 1791, the Revolution transformed the church designed by Soufflot at Louis XV's request and consecrated to Sainte Genevi?ve, and established the French PANTH?ON here.
It was used successively for religious and civil purposes until 1885, when the ashes of the writer / poet VICTOR HUGO were brought here, definitely dedicating it to the Republican creed.
Imagine: 77 great men lie buried here.
The PANTH?ON is a superb example of architecture built along classical lines and a real pleasure to visit.
Have a good look at the photograph and see that splendour!
OPEN: daily 10AM - 6PM

the Eiffel Tower is that big metal thing near the river. if you have a hard time finding it just wait for the evening time when it may be a little easier to see. Leave a Comment |

the basilica was lovely inside - - very unique.
this part of Paris is filthy. We stood across the street from the Basilica to take photos of it, and the smell of urine everywhere was so bad. there was garbage in the gutters on all the little side streets - - squished plastic bottles, paper napkins, cigarette packages. I nearly took a photo because I was so amazed at the sheer volume of crap in the streets.
we wandered around for about an hour after the basilica, but realized it wasn't going to get any better, and hopped the metro the hell out of that part of Paris. |
the chateau de maisons at maisons-laffitte not far from paris is very very nice.
fit for a king or napolean one might say. Leave a Comment |
the eiffel tower is lovely and kind of one of those things you feel the need to see while in paris; however, just walking around paris is the neatest to me. there are a ton of artists setting up shop on the streets and kind of reminds me of new orleans in that way, but a lot nicer. |
the hotel d'herouet built in 1584 is an excellent example of renaissance architecture in paris. it's distintive turret is of the late gothic style. the addition of turrets were expensive appendages that was popular with affuent parisians at the time. the hotel d'herouet is one of several fine examples of renaissance architecture in paris. some other notable examples are the hotel de sens, hotel de cluny, and the place de vosges. an excellent book on renaissance architecture in paris is "renaissance paris, architecture and growth 1475-1600" david thompson. pub: university of california press. Address: 54 rue veilee du templeDirections: central paris, the marais. metro: st. paul. |
