The Site in
Paris known as Les Invaldes is technically Napoleon's tomb and the
army museum, however most people know it is Napoleon's Tomb. Les Invaldes is a
very impressive structure which was built t honor Napoleon and the French war dead.
I guess in the end, the French decided they really did like Napoleon. Therefore, the French built Napoleon a grand Mausoleum to house his remains as well as the remains of Napoleon's son and Napoleon's brothers. Over time other great French generals have been intombed here. Napoleon's tomb is a very imposing structure with a very elegant interior . The only part of the army museum I visited was the world war two section, which did a very good job of outlining the progression, history, and horrors of World War II. I hope you enjoy the photos. Any comments, please E-mail me, .
