Enjoy a 2.5-hour semi-private guided visit to perhaps the most spectacular building on the Paris skyline, the incredible gold-domed Invalides. Covered with 26lbs of real gold, the Invalides is home to the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte and the fascinating museum of the army, tracing the history of the French armies and their allies from the jousts of kings, through invasion and resistance to the Normandy landings of WWII.

We saw a beautiful light show here in the evening. Very bombastic building. During the day it would have been too boring for me. It's strange how Napoleon is celebrated and revered here.

Our guide Michael was extremely well versed in history. We focused on Napoleon and the battles he won leading to his coronation as Emperor. We then visited both the military church and the adjoining church with Napoleon's tomb. The churches were stunning, especially the dome, statuary and incredible marble edifices. Michael was quite charming and interesting.

It is hard to describe the beauty of this place. I spent hours in here, mesmerized. You have to dress appropriately and be respectfully quiet. My advice is to let noisy tour groups pass by so you can enjoy the serenity of the place.

Guide seemed a little tired. Overall, the museum was well done. The chapel where Napoleon is in turned, was phenomenal. It was very moving to see how respected and in mortal this little guy was treated, especially in view of the fact that so much French blood was spilled Under his guidance. The French are to be honored with this exhibit.

Napoleon's Tomb!!! A great tour. Worth the time and money. Tour Guide was very knowledgeable. My only suggestion: this was a small group only 4 people. We met at a stupid location. At a very busy sidewalk cafe: Finding 4 other people was very difficult - particularly since we could have met by the fence of the exhibit. A Much easier place to identify a tour group.

Les Invalides is a journey into the past. The collection of military artifacts is amazing. Of course, the main attraction is Napoleon's tomb. And it is indeed impressive.

Les Invalides like most places in Paris is huge and even with an audio guide I don’t think you would get much out of the visit like we did when we toured with our guide. He bought the history to life, he was passionate about his subject and this came through when telling us bits and bobs. I would highly recommend this small group tour to anyone - you won’t be sorry.

Julienne was an excellent guide for our tour very knowledgeable, very professional. The pace of the tour was comfortable and considerate for all parties. Highlights of the tour were the history behind the King’s armor and the scale models of cannons, gun carriages, and caissons. Another highlight was the hidden symbolism of the paintings and various statuary. I’d do it again.

Wonderful museum, however WWI and WWII exhabitions were closed, without us being informed when we purchased tickets, watch out for this! The rest on show was very good.
