About this tour
Cut the queue at this 5th arrondissement monument and explore the neoclassical landmark that houses France's celebrated dead. Voltaire, Rousseau, Hugo, and Curie rest in the crypt below a soaring dome designed to showcase the best of 18th-century French architecture. You'll have 45 minutes to over an hour to wander the interior at leisure, examining frescoes and sculptural details without the push of tour groups. The reserved-entry ticket lets you spend your time looking rather than waiting.

What to expect
You'll enter directly past the main queue and have unrestricted access to the building's interior. The ground floor features the main hall beneath the iconic dome; take time to examine the painted vault and sculptural elements. A staircase leads down to the crypt, where plaques and busts commemorate major French figures. Allow at least 45 minutes to see the main spaces without rushing. Most visitors spend closer to 90 minutes if they study the interior details.
