Is Panthéon worth it as a couple?

Worth itAs a couple

As a couple, Panthéon works.

A vast, echoing nave with Foucault's pendulum proving the Earth turns, and a crypt below holding Voltaire, Curie, Hugo and Dumas. The seasonal dome climb gives a quiet, central Left Bank panorama with far fewer people than the big towers.
