Hello, I bought the tickets in advance for ~$8 by internet, the building is pretty, there is a big pendulum hanging in the center which in its time was an experiment to prove that the earth rotate on its own axis, you want to find where is buried Dumas, Victor Hugo, Braille, couple Courier, etc.
Touring the Latin Quarter and all it's hustle and bustle, was glad I convinced my granddaughter to visit. Used Skip-the-Line and enjoyed the spaciousness and no crowds on a beautiful Sunday afternoon! Foucault's Pendulum astounding. To think we were in the mausoleum where so many of the "National Heroes" are entombed. A must visit if in Paris for a few days!
Having tickets ahead of time saved 30-40 minutes of standing in line on a Saturday afternoon. Very easy to use from cell phone as they just scanned the reader on our phone (from screen snap shot).
Unless you’re REALLY into French history, not much to see. Long line, high price...meh. A few hours we’ll never get back. Nice neighborhood though!
- Nice viewing point from the upper level - guide accompanied tour with 15 minutes for photo opportunities at the top level
- Steep climb but completely worth it
- Pantheon itself looks very breathtaking inside
- Plan to spend about 1.5-2 hours inside
