Emperor's Final Resting Place |
Esplanade des Invalides 7th Arrondissement Paris, Île-de-France France +45 55 92 30 |
Napoleon Bonaparte (b.1769) died in exile on the Isle of St. Helena in 1821. Apparently the French thought better of him after his death and in 1840 his remains were returned to France and this magnificent memorial that was built between 1843-53 now serves as his final resting place. Visitors can observe the giant sarcophagus (13 x 6.5 x 14.25). The layout has a total of five gigantic blocks. Along the walls is etched a chronicle of Napoleon's victories that add counter-point to the grandeur of the vault. Napoleon's Tomb sets in Les Invalides that was built by Louis XIV originally as a hospital for injured soldiers. On the grounds is also the Musee de l'Armee, the French war museum.

 Underground expedition |
93 Quai d'Orsay Paris 75007 France +33 (0)1 4705 1029 |
The idea of visiting the sewers of a major city may not seem very appealing at first. Nevertheless, it is an original way to discover part of Paris foundations. With over two kilometres of galleries, the museum presents an exhibition about the city water system through a historical approach of the sewer's evolution. A display of machines and models illustrate the techniques used through the ages to deal with the water cycle. The museum also presents the way manpower was involved in its maintenance. Admission: EUR 4.10 Review © 2007, Wcities |
