Pantheon  |
The Panthéon was built as a church between 1764 and 1790. Its huge coupole dominates Paris from the top of the Sainte-Geneviève hill on the Seine left bank. During the 1789 french revolution and shortly after its construction, the Panthéon was turned into a memorial to illustrous frenchmen. It now houses among others the remains of Pierre and Marie Curie, the physicists who discovered the radioactivity, of Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Victor Hugo. |

Saint Germain des Pés |
Saint-Germain-des-Prés is for a long time a district in the particular charm at which the mystery does not stop amazing and inspiring numerous authors.
The suburb develops bit by bit to become from the XVIIth the home of the literary and dramatic world. Already the artists take for custom to meet in the numerous cafes which bloom(prosper) in the district, such Procope which opens its doors in 1689 to the fair Saint Germain. After the Revolution the district is abandoned to return fashionably only after the second World war. Indeed the district takes up with a certain intellectual tradition; it is the time of the cellars of St-Germain-des-Prés associated to famous names such as Vian, Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir whom we could see in the cafe de Flore or in Les Deux Magots. |
