Daily Photo – Bizarre Necropolis in Paris

My hotel was very close to the Panthéon in the Latin section of Paris, so it seemed a shame not to explore the inside.  It wasn’t really what I expected.

I thought I would have seen the traditional European cathedral stylings that are always so familiar and pretty.  I never get tired of those, but the Panthéon was a curious collection of strange crypts, giant pendulums, and other assorted agnostic items.

The necropolis holds the remains of Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo, and Emile Zola, among others.
