The Story of Alexandre
Four Musketeers at the Panthéon
Dumas died on December 5, 1870, in poverty at his son's home in Puys, near Dieppe, his death overshadowed by the Franco-Prussian War. He was buried in Villers-Cotterêts as he had wished. Then, in November 2002, for the bicentenary of his birth, French President Jacques Chirac ordered his remains moved to the Panthéon. The new coffin, draped in blue velvet, was escorted through Paris by four Republican Guards costumed as Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D'Artagnan. Chirac said: 'With you, we were D'Artagnan. With you we dreamed.' Dumas now rests beside Victor Hugo and Voltaire.
