The Pantheon in Paris (not to be confused with the Pantheon in Rome) is decorated like a church in the upper levels, with paintings on the walls, ornate ceilings, and sculptures. The crypt in the lower levels contains the tombs of prestigious Frenchmen, including Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo, and lots of other famous names.
