Off to the Panthéon

I have decided that it is time to enter a building. Since I have unintentionally walked by the Panthéon three times this week, I am confident that I can get there without any difficulty. For those that do not know the Panthéon, here is a short history lesson¹:

Napoleon, unable to steal and transport the real Pantheon from Rome, Italy, orders the building of a new church in Paris. This new building is christened the Panthéon since the French dislike the idea of anything of cultural significance being created that they did not in fact create.

While the Panthéon has rarely ever been used as a church, its primary purpose is as a burial mound for the world's most important humans. Strikingly, these people all tend to be French. Since the French put such a strong emphasis on equality among men and women, there is even a token woman, Marie Curie, buried here. For those that do not recognize her, she is most famous for scientifically proving that you can die from radiation poisoning.

So off to the Panthéon I go.
