Built originally as a hospital and home for war veterans by Louis XIV, today it houses the Musée de l'Armée. As you explore the incredible collection of medieval and Renaissance armor, your expert, English-speaking guide will weave in captivating stories about the French military's bravery and resilience. Discover how the French and their allies stood firm against the invading German armies during WWII.

The tour's piece-de-resistance is undoubtedly a visit to the final resting place of Napoleon Bonaparte, set within the Dôme des Invalides's gilded opulence. Standing before the red Finnish porphyry sarcophagus that encloses Napoleon's body, wrapped in six coffins, you’ll feel the weight of history. This semi-private tour promises not just an excursion to a museum and a tomb, but a riveting journey into the heart of France's past and the life of an iconic European general.
