Thanks! It’s in the nave of the Panthéon in Paris; the architect was Jacques-Germain Soufflot who is responsible for much of today’s Lyon as well. There’s normally a giant pendulum in there which was used by Léon Foucault to demonstrate the rotation of the earth, but it’s under restoration at the moment

What a beautiful church, the architecture is simply amazing. Great capture; where exactly was this taken?
