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%

Don't miss the lower level! - Just spectacular! This is perhaps my favorite place in Paris, with the incredible space dedicated to this national hero - in particular, the lower level is replete with beautiful bas-reliefs. There is just a sense of awe that you get from the space dedicated to one man and (to a lesser degree) other French military heroes. Don't miss!

Armee Musee was fantastic - Really enjoyed the medieval arms, napoleonic era and Napoleons tomb! Self guided but quite a few markings for all

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

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.
