  • Cathedrale Saint-Louis des Invalides, Paris, France
    Your guide will lead you through the epic courtyard of the Invalides, discussing its 17th century roots as a veteran’s hospital under King Louis XIV. You’ll visit the cathedral that Louis had built for his former troops, who found respite here after returning from battle. After discussing the Sun King’s contributions to France’s military history, you’ll learn all about the nation’s most elite leader, Napoleon Bonaparte. A brilliant general and audacious emperor, he is synonymous with France’s gold days of military conquest. Ultimately pushing too far, Napoleon died in exile, though his remains are interred underneath the magnificent gold dome. Come face to face with his tomb, as well as the tombs of those closest to him, while basking in the ornate homage to this leader. Spend some time in the museum to learn all about this man, beyond his famous stature, through artifacts, recreations, and military maps that walk you through his many wins and defeats.

We had a group of 5 (4 adults and 1 child, 8 y.o.). Dunya was our guide and she was absolutely phenomenal. She was incredibly knowledgeable, was able to answer all of our questions, and even provided recommendations about places outside of the tour. Bonus, Dunya interacted well with our kiddo and made sure we were all comfortable (it was pretty hot). We went into this as a place we just wanted to see and it ended up being a highlight during our two week trip. The only thing I will say is if there is a line outside the gate, go ahead and get in it, it's a security check and there is no skipping that.

Florian was very friendly, knowledgeable and fun. He helped us understand the technology of military over time including armor, weapons, cavalry, etc. and he provided a great overview of Napoleon’s military and government contributions to France. A fantastic 2 hour tour.
