On January 2, 3 and 4, 2025, families are invited to take part in an interactive walk in the footsteps of the Great Men buried at the Panthéon. Here's the program for the event:

• Contes et Histoires 2024
  Join your family for "La dernière marche" (The Last Walk), an in situ tale about memory, a colorful and mischievous theatrical journey whose main character is an emblematic figure from the Luxembourg district. Si! Yes, we are! We're sure you've already met her!
  Suzanne, a very, very old immortal, has the ability to talk to the giants of the Pantheon, and thereby perpetuate their memory, and therefore their lives. One morning, she receives a strange postcard, a mysterious message. The Giants urgently need her: one of their own has disappeared, his memory is fading... He must be helped. Suzanne takes us on an interactive, sensory tour of the Pantheon, in search of the Giant to save from oblivion.
  We'll rub shoulders with Monsieur Braille, Mesdames Joséphine Baker and Geneviève de Gaulle-Anthonioz, Monsieur Arouet, otherwise known as Voltaire, Messieurs Ordener and Tronchet...
