Les Invalides – Army Museum
This unusual guided tour will offer you the opportunity to enter into the heart of the Hôtel national des Invalides in Paris. You will discover anecdotes, unusual facts and legends all along the tour.

Your guide will tell you the mysterious works that were carried out to build the Dôme des Invalides, the extraordinary adventures of Napoleon statue, as well as legends about the Emperor’s death in 1821 on the island of St. Helena, or even how the 14th of July has started in the Invalides.
