It's an opportunity to discover the cultural and historical wealth of the French capital, so here's a selection of must-see sites nearby. 

Not far from the Hôtel Nude Paris, the Panthéon, an emblematic Parisian monument, is home to the tombs of many illustrious French personalities. This weekend, you can explore the interior of the building, admire its impressive dome and pay tribute to the great men and women who lie there.
