the floor and dome of the Panthéon The French Third Republic decreed the building's exclusive use as a mausoleum in 1881. The placement of Victor Hugo's remains in the crypt in 1885 was its first entombment in over fifty years. As of December 2021 the remains of 81 people (75 men and six women) had been transferred to the Panthéon. We were in basement of the building to see this.
