Napoleon's tomb is probably not on your "places to visit in Paris" list. But it should be. Its a perfect homage to one of the best military commanders in history. This tomb is proof that the French loved Napoleon as much as he loved France. The interiors of Les Invalides is as beautiful as the Golden dome that's hard to miss on the Parisian cityscape. The music and lights in the evenings elevate the experience to a different level. Highly recommended.

Great visit! Big place, lot of history. Great customer service!

WORTH A VISIT!!! The tomb and the army museum is worth a visit. One can also explore the surrounding areas (most Beautiful bridge, Pont Alexandre III and banks of Seine river). The tomb and museum is magnificent!!

This is a suitably grand resting place for one of the more complicated and impactful leaders in world history. The red quartzite coffin, friezes of the emperor and his greatest accomplishments and deliberate omission of his poor qualities (typical) surely illustrate him as one of the greatest leaders of nations in the history of humankind.

What a shame for all travelers who go to Paris without visiting the Tomb of Napoleon Bonarparte🤩. The place is beautiful, magnificent and amazing. It carries the glory, honour, history, authority of France. I think it is a place where should be put at the highest attractions rank as Eiffel tower and Louvre Museum in Paris for sure!

A must visit place, its - as expected from Paris - wonderfully constructed. Don't get too excited tho, this sight is not as monumental as probably the rest of the historically important places, you can see the entire thing in about 15-30 minutes (+tickets)

A must see place away from the usual crowds. The architecture is impressive in every way. We used the Paris Museum Pass for free access and for under 18 it is required to get the ticket from the ticket office nearby. There are toilets in the building with the ticket office but to use it you need to show tickets. There were no crowds just a gentle flow of visitors impressed at the final resting place of one of history's greatest warriors, an emperor. The tomb is in an open crypt looked upon by angels and surrounded by memorials to other great souls. It is a very quiet experience compared to other crowded places in Paris.

The queue for the tickets were insanely long. I’d advise you to book online your tickets. The tomb as you can see from the photos is huge and the building itself is beautiful. The museum wasn’t something special. There were mostly old outfits and old weapons.

This was an unexpected high point as we wandered Paris. Not because we're fans of the late emporer, but just because the hubris is so complete and beyond belief. As far as tombs go, I haven't seen anything this nuts since the pyramids of Giza, which is interesting given the number of lives Napoleon's conquests cost Europe. You should see this.

I recently visited the Tomb of Napoleon, and here's my review: 1. This site holds immense historical significance. You have the opportunity to view the tomb from above, offering a unique perspective. Additionally, you can descend to the lower level for a closer look at this monumental mausoleum. 2. Given that it is a mausoleum, it's important to approach the site with a sense of respect and reverence. This is a place of remembrance for a prominent figure in history, and visitors should be mindful of its solemnity. Overall, the Tomb of Napoleon offers a profound and educational experience for those interested in history. The option to view it from different angles allows for a comprehensive understanding of its significance. Remembering to be respectful while exploring this site is paramount.

Definitely worth a visit, the edification is massive and opulent. And filled with history. I recommend reading about Napoleon’s private life beforehand.

This tomb is very large. Bigger then I thought. This building is beautiful and the associated military museum that is here with it is a must stop if you are interested in war history. The World War section is absolutely amazing with artifacts and displays

As a student i had free entrance wich was nice. The hall was is majestic with the tomb in the middle. Because of the historical importance this is definitely a must see.

A great tribute to one of the greatest military leaders of history. Definitely worth the stop. The connection Napoleon has to so many events in history and places makes it that much more exciting to visit. Next time you are in Venice learn about Napoleon's connection to the Horses of Saint Mark - one of the most interesting stories IMHO!

Only in movies I've seen something similar. It was amazing to see the giant tomb of Napoleon. Highly recommend to visit if you're around.

This was an incredible building to visit. For some reason it was not on our list the last time we were here. The architecture is incredible and the tombs/rooms are amazing! Highly suggest a visit

A monument fit for an Emperor and his friends. I enjoyed this far more than I thought I would. Take the time to see the Court of Honor at the Invalides.

I had the chance to visit at midnight. It was truly an amazing experience.

Resting place of the great Napoleon Bonaparte, and his horse!.

Napoleon's tomb is an awe-inspiring testament to the legacy of one of history's greatest figures. The grandeur and intricacy of the architecture leave visitors in absolute wonder. The attention to detail and historical significance of the site make it a must-visit for anyone interested in French history or architecture. The museum accompanying the tomb provides a comprehensive and engaging narrative of Napoleon's life and times. The experience is truly unforgettable and well worth the visit!

What a delightful surprise Make sure you don't miss this not only a stunning building but so informative. Do yourself a favour come here first Then to the Invalids and finish the day at the rodin museum. So informative and inspiring. Certainly not to be missed

I'm not a big lover of history, but seeing from afar this cathedral with a golden roof I had to go and see what it was, and I must admit, I didn't regret it at all, it was truly a delightful experience for my eyes, and what's better is that the entrance ticket is free if you are under 26 years old, if you are near the Eiffel Tower add it as a stop on your trip, I assure you that it will be absolutely worth it🤗✨️

Visited twice and have found this fascinating both times. The tomb is definitely a sight to behold. You can spend hours here looking around and learn so much

A visit to the The Dome (Tomb of Napoleon #Bonaparte) in Les Invalides is worthwhile based on the stupendous history of Napoleon and the magnificent building itself. The Dome was Paris's tallest building until the Eiffel Tower was erected. The history of the Dôme des #Invalides is linked to that of France: it was the church where royal mass took place during the reign of Louis XIV, then it housed the Tomb of #Napoleon I in the 19th century, and provided shelter for Allied pilots in the Second World War.

Although part of the Army Museum, a series of museums dedicated to military history, from the Middle Ages until modern times, the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte is the most visible and well known building of them all. While you can spend several hours in here, visiting the entire complex, you may also skip the military museums and just visit the tomb. The ticket for the entire museum is EUR 15. Impressive building, full of history, and one of the city’s landmarks, Napoleon’s tomb is worth a visit. You will find several rooms dedicated to Napoleon in the army museum. Recommended!

Very nice and interesting place to spend an hour learning some history, in a very unique way/experience. Tried to book tickets a week in advance, but there were no tickets left… Tried last minute booking through the official website, and found tickets at half price

Worth visiting just for the tomb of Napoleon. Just a phenomenal piece of architecture, I can’t believe how much effort and money has been put into this structure. You’d think Napoleon was the king of the world with a resting place like this

For me the highlight of my trip to Paris was the pilgrimage to Napoleon's tomb. I studied Napoleon in my final year at school and I would have stood shoulder to shoulder with him on the barricades if I was French. He shook Up the royalty of Europe and freed the serfs of their indenture as well as many others. He was dispised because he was a man before his time.

Unexpected to love this place and museum so much. Far less crowded than other museums and my kids loved the suits of armor and history. Wish we'd planned for more time.

This place is huge! We used several hours here, and we didn't even see everything. The museum of all the old armors is fantastic, the grave itself is well made and the sorrounding grave are all gorgeous.

Perfection! The outer architecture as well as the inner architecture is fabulous. The entry fees is 15 euros. Along with the tomb there is also a nice garden on the front and the tomb is covered by water on all the sides. If you can for sure visit the place, after all this is the TOMB of NAPOLEON!

Located under the majestic golden Dôme Des Invalides it is a unique place to see. You can feal the social power and dominance, and why he was one of the biggest individuals who ever lived. Fun fact: massive sarcophagus in the middle of the structure was actually positioned so you need to bend to see him or look at him from the bottom. Offering him your respect even after his death.

A tourist site that often get missed, but to be honest, really worth a quick visit to see the building and the tomb. Highly recommended to reserve less than 30 min for it.

Building is amazing outside and inside! If its not on your "to visit" list in Paris.. put it! It only could have bit more lightning on some places.

Love visiting the Les Invalides. It is a great place to spend half a day.

Great experience! It's incredible to visit this museum which sum up all of the great War history of France! The tomb of Napoleon well represents his legacy!

One of the most beautiful and solemn mausoleums you could visit. Invalides is truly a tribute from a grateful nation to the architect of modern France. Napoleon was a visionary leader for the French who introduced modern concepts such as a centralised government administration, french common law, the french university and high school system, various government institutions that aimed at introducing more fairness in decision making. An interesting legacy. The mausoleum includes various life size marble statues that describe this legacy in detail. I really recommend visiting. You have to see it to take it all in. Invalides is also the french national museum of the army with lots of other interesting exhibitions to visit.

It's more than that. It's a big part of french history.

Located inside a sprawling multi faceted complex that acts as memorial, museum, and even hospital and living space for French veterans, the tomb is a enormous golden domed building that speaks to the grandeur of this age of French history. The tomb itself is under the main dome, recessed into the floor and can be viewed at the crypt level or from above. The building houses monuments and the remains of many war dead and there are amazing displays in each of the areas, but the solemnity and majesty of his memorial is breathtaking.

Note to tourists: It’s MUCH easier to get there from the “back” than it is to cross Pont Alexander and walk through the plaza of the Museum. It took me almost 30 minutes going that way! The tomb is viewable from the door - albeit from afar - if you don’t want to pay the €8 to enter, but I recommend going in to see the magnificent interior of the building.

Really impressive place with huge dimensions and a lot a lot of marble. Security check at the entrance. Tickets are €16 per person and combined with the huge military museum.

Seeing this, especially if you are up on your Napoleonic history, you see a celebration of a national hero. Magnificent repose amidst his angels, and the accomplishments of his reign.

This museum was a great site to visit. The location was packed with historical items and taught a lot about the history of France and their military. There was limited information in English (understandable) but I had no problem translating to the information with my phone's to read. I highly recommend visiting this museum and the tomb. The price was also extremely reasonable.

If you love history, this place is for you! There are several interactive demonstrations, gift store, cathedral, and tomb. A must see for your Paris visit.

Napoleon's legacy is pretty easy to see all around France. His tomb certainly represents that legacy and appreciation by the nation. It is grandiose, even spectacular, worth a visit if you have some spare time.

The entire museum is fantastic. Not just the beautiful tomb of Napoleon, but the educational experience in the Museum. From the diplomatic life of Charles De Gaulle, to the course of History through the lenses of WWI and WWII.

Very nice place to visit Entrance is 14 euros per adult and I definetely advice to buy the guide in order to enjoy the visit : learn about all the details and make the tour interesting

You can see the tomb of napoleon,its better to book a ticket online although they sell a ticket inside

Great place to visit to get a glimpse of French history. The monument is dedicated to the French emperor Napoleon and has stunning architecture. There are no queues. To understand more about the architecture, I encourage you to take the audio guide

Who knew so much money can be wasted on a person’s tomb, perhaps except the pharaohs. You kind of have to see it to believe it. I didn’t know of the scale of this structure and the details in the design until I am there. It is more impressive than the army museum next door and it is good to check out Louis XI church. I think it should be a top location to visit.

Incredible respect and love shown here for French Military leaders.

Both the museum and the mausoleum are worth the visit. Amazing place

This was a surprise stop for us, and we’re glad we did it. Not only is it cooler inside, it’s a pretty fascinating tomb for a former emperor (even if it was a self-appointed title). You’ll find all the classical architectural touches in addition to the crowds of tourists, and cadets-in-training (see picture).

Beatiful tomb of one of the greatest military commanders of all time. The paralells to the roman emperors are obvious and its an incredible church. Its one of the coolest mausoleums I have visited. Definetly worth visiting when in the area, its a highlight for every trip!

Must visit while in the Invalidés. We went on a Saturday afternoon and didn't even wait 10min to get through the gate. Super grand tomb and memorial for the big power names of France!
