Napoleon’s Tomb is inside Les Invalides’ Army Museum (Musee de l'Armee), so you must buy a Museums and Exhibitions Ticket. The full adult rate is €17, and this includes access to the Army Museum’s permanent collections, Church of the Dome, plus other exhibitions at the time of your visit.

A visit to Napoleon’s Tomb gives the background on the French military general who played a leading role in the French Revolution. The understanding of the man’s history aside, the architecture of his tomb is notable, with the red-rock sarcophagus and the ornate cupola that soars high above it.

There’s more to Napoleon’s Tomb than a coffin, with sculptures, wall carvings, and the impressive domed ceiling among the finds inside. Napoleon’s brothers, Joseph and Jérôme Bonaparte, were also laid to rest here, and you can see their tombs alongside those of other French military greats.

Children gain free entry to Les Invalides with accompanying adults. Still, there isn’t much to interest them at Napoleon’s Tomb unless they are learning about Napoleon at school. Aim to spend more time in the museum’s armory rooms instead, where a huge collection of armor and swords await.

Besides the obvious sites inside Les Invalides’ Army Museum (Musee de l'Armee) and the nearby Eiffel Tower, there are many top Paris attractions in the Invalides neighborhood. Rodin Museum (Musée Rodin) is a short stroll, showcasing the artist's work, along with Paris’ oldest department store, Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche.
