Arts & Culture

Step inside one of Paris&#39;s most powerful monuments and experience Napoleon Bonaparte&#39;s extraordinary story in the place built to honour it. The Hôtel des Invalides — with its gleaming golden dome visible from across the city — is home to the Musée de l&#39;Armée, one of the world&#39;s great military history museums, and the spectacular Dôme Church where Napoleon has rested since 1861. Your licensed guide brings the Napoleon galleries to life: the campaigns that reshaped Europe, the reforms that created modern France, the uniforms, maps, and personal artefacts of a man who ruled an empire. Then you step beneath the gilded dome into one of Paris&#39;s most solemn and breathtaking spaces. Your guide tells the full story - the Russian campaign, the defeat at Waterloo, the years of exile on Saint Helena, and the 19-year journey to return his remains to the city he loved. With a maximum of 8 guests, this tour moves at your pace. There&#39;s time for questions, for lingering in front of the details that catch your eye, and for the kind of conversation that doesn&#39;t happen in a group of 30. This is Paris Unscripted - intimate, unhurried, and told by guides who know this building inside out.
