The main courtyard of Les Invalides

Les Invalides is, of course, the tomb of Napoleon — but also one of the richest military museums in Europe, a royal church of the 17th century, and an architecture that Louis XIV wanted to match the glory of France.

With a private licensed guide, French military history comes back to life, from the Wars of Religion to the First World War, by way of the Napoleonic campaigns.
