PARIS (Reuters) -President Emmanuel Macron will on Thursday inaugurate a cenotaph in memory of Robert Badinter at the Pantheon, a mausoleum in central Paris where some of France's most prominent national heroes are buried. The former justice minister, who died in February 2024 aged 95, will join the likes of philosopher Voltaire, writer Victor Hugo and scientists Pierre and Marie Curie in the monument's vast, vaulted crypt, which has been used to host the remains of great figures since 1791. The cenotaph will contain Badinter's legal gown, three books that he cherished, and a copy of his most famous speech, the Élysée Palace told Reuters on Wednesday.
