#EuropeanTravel 🏛 Where to meet the great emperor - Into the history of Paris, Les Invalides - When traveling around Paris, at some point, you will encounter the city's 'history' beyond the splendid art and romantic scenery. Among them, the place you must visit is Les Invalides. Under the golden dome, the tomb of Napoleon, who commanded France, is located. It is a symbol of war, glory, and power, and a place that still resonates deeply to this day. What is Les Invalides? It started as a building built by Louis XIV in the 17th century to provide nursing care for retired soldiers, but today, Les Invalides is well known for its military museum, memorial hall, and the Dome Church (Église du Dôme) where Napoleon's tomb is located. It is close to the center of Paris, so it is also a course that naturally connects to the Eiffel Tower and the Seine River walking route. Napoleon's Tomb, That Overwhelming Moment The moment you enter the Dome Church, the first thing you see is a huge coffin deep beneath the marble floor. That is where Napoleon Bonaparte's remains are laid to rest. The coffin is made of red porphyry stone, and the structure that naturally bends down while looking down is intended to instill awe in the emperor at the time. From the reliefs of wars surrounding the coffin and the tombs of generals to the grandeur of the marble columns and dome ceiling. It is a space where you can truly feel how much history a person's life left behind. Travel Tips There is an admission fee, and the Paris Museum Pass is available. Also visit the Military Museum (Musée de l'Armée). The extensive exhibition is impressive, from weapons from the Napoleonic era to modern warfare. There is also a garden, so it is good to take a leisurely walk on a nice day. The golden dome roof is visible from anywhere in Paris, so it is easy to find. A good course to visit together. Eiffel Tower → Invalides → Pont Alexandre III → Champs-Élysées It is a route that can be connected by foot, so it is good to include in your travel route. 📷 Hashtags #Invalides #Napoleon's Tomb #Paris History Tour #French Military Museum #Golden Dome Church #LesInvalides #Recommended Paris Course #Modern and Contemporary History of Paris #Meet Napoleon #The Glory and Fall of Paris
