Historic - The area in which the tomb is house is so striking, you can’t miss seeing it from afar and it makes you wonder what it is (if you don’t already know). The detailing on the dome is incredible and the gold so vibrant, especially when the sun is shining. We missed going in due to time limitations.

The tomb is impressive - The Roman styled tomb and the dome that clearly are parallel in scale with the Vatican. The army museum is packed with artifacts and weapons from different eras; we had a great time visiting this place. The entrance fee is 10 Euro per person and it included both the museum and the tomb.

Lots of history! - This was a wonderful tour, so much history. You could spend hours and hours here. It was good to do this at our own pace. Napoleon’s tomb was amazing. Would recommend 100%

Napoleon’s Tomb is the Highlight - We visited the historic building that used to be a military hospital with the goal of seeing Napoleon’s tomb. We also visited the chapel and admired many elaborately decorated military tombs. There are also many military artifacts spanning the last several centuries. We purchased tickets in advance and skipped the long line to walk right in.

Tomb Napoleon - It is located under the golden dome of the Palais des Invalides in Paris. Admission is for a fee and also gives you access to visit the weapons museum. The red granite sarcophagus sits in a large oculus on the ground, forcing visitors to lean in to see it. It's spectacular, awesome. We bought the tickets the same day at the box office. Children under the age of 18 enter for free

Purchased tickets on line... - Purchased tickets on line but never received tickets that were usable at the museum. The ticket office required tickets with bar code. Tried calling two phone numbers in emailed receipt from Viator but never answered the phone. Also didn’t response to What’s App message. Lost my money since we had to purchase new tickets at the ticket office ( at nearly 1/2 cost of purchasing thru Viator)

Napoleon’s tomb - My Viator ticket and forwarding email failed at Napoleon’s tomb and Grand Armee museum. The bar code failed at multiple attempts; museum personnel were not amused.

Pass Did Not Work - Purchased from TripAdvisor site. Access to museum and tomb was denied. Had to purchase ticket again at entrance. Tour ticket didn't work for either the museum or the tomb. Confusing, disappointing, and expensive.
