Join your experienced guide for an introduction to the Musée de l’Armée, housed inside the golden-domed Hotel des Invalides. This is a great chance to learn about France’s tumultuous military history and important figures like Sun King, Louis XIV and Napoleon Bonaparte from the experts!

Your private tour begins in the courtyard of the Invalides. Here, you’ll learn about the building’s 17th century roots as a veteran’s hospital under Louis XIV, and take a walk through the cathedral, dedicated to his troops.

Explore the dynamic history of Napoleon Bonaparte, widely acknowledged to have been France’s most brilliant military general, but whose blinding ambition eventually led to his death in exile - gulp! Say what you need to at his tomb, which lies beneath the Invalides’ golden dome.
