About This Tour

A private tour for your group only, with real skip-the-line entry — Les Invalides' genuine war museum and the actual tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte. This is a private tour for your group only, with real skip-the-line entry. Real highlights include Les Invalides' genuine military history museum and the actual tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte.

Les Invalides wasn't built with Napoleon in mind at all — Louis XIV ordered its construction in 1670 as a home and hospital for aging and wounded soldiers, and architect Libéral Bruant delivered a complex so large it ended up with fifteen separate courtyards. More than a century and a half later, it became the final resting place of one of France's most consequential figures.

Napoleon died in exile on the island of Saint Helena in 1821, and his remains weren't brought back to France until 1840, in an event known as the Retour des Cendres — his coffin finally arrived at Les Invalides on 15 December 1840, after a journey of more than 7,200 kilometers. His body then lay in a side chapel for over two decades while his permanent tomb was built beneath the building's grand dome, finally inaugurated by his nephew, Napoleon III, on 2 April 1861.

With skip-the-line entry included, your guide can take you straight from the tomb itself to the real military history museum housed in the same complex — centuries of French military artifacts under the same roof where Napoleon has now rested for over 160 years.
