How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

The domed neoclassical building in the Latin Quarter, surrounded by crowds in the game.

The real place

It was built as the church of Sainte-Geneviève and was nearly finished in 1789. In 1791 the revolutionaries turned it into a mausoleum for great French figures. Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo and Marie Curie are buried in its crypt.

Visiting

Climb to the colonnade around the dome in summer for a view over Paris. Foucault's pendulum hangs inside.
