Beneath this massive dome, covered with more than 20 kilos of gold, rests the most powerful ruler France ever produced-the great Napoleon.
Located in the Hotel des Invalides complex...
his tomb lies behind the main alter of the Church of St. Louis.
Great men and women, common men and women and countless children have come to gaze upon the last resting spot of one of the greatest generals and most powerful rulers in history.
Heavenly images shine down upon his tomb.
Napoleon rests with other great French military minds, here lies Marshal Turenne, the greatest French general of the 17th century...
and Marshal Vauban one of the greatest military engineers and the designer of a system of fortifications that carry his name.
