Pantheon: "To the great men, the grateful homeland"

What better place to find Upstanders than in the Pantheon, a final resting place for the great men and women of France? 

The building was originally a church dedicated to St. Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris. I had no idea how she saved Paris from the Huns in 451. That is also something else I will research later.

In the Pantheon, I saw Voltaire's tomb. His Candide is one of my favorite novels, and my thoughts about cultivating the garden come directly from his writing.

There were also several memorials to the Revolution.

In 2007, President Chirac unveiled a plaque to the Righteous Among the Nations.

And Marie Curie is the only woman in the Pantheon there of her own accomplishments.
