Why Macron is gatekeeping at the Panthéon.
What better résumé for admission into the Panthéon? This, at least, was the belief of Francis Huster, a well-known French stage, film, and TV actor and director who has long crusaded—in interviews, articles, and books—for Molière’s pantheonization. In 2019, Huster launched a petition to make the case for Molière’s remains to be moved from the Père Lachaise Cemetery, in Paris, to the Panthéon.
Two years later, after Louis had also lost his head to the revolution, the representatives of the fledgling republic repossessed the edifice, rebaptized it as the Panthéon and rededicated it to the cult of the nation.This marked the start of a centurylong foot rumble between reactionaries and republicans over possession of this prime piece of real estate.
