napoleon

A friend is travelling to Paris so I've been looking over my photos from a few years ago.  I love Paris!

This is Napoleon's tomb at Les Invalides.  I'm not sure if I visited here on my previous trip in 1983 but I'm glad that I went this time, it is a fascinating place.  Napoleon died in 1821 but didn't arrive in this prominent location under the dome until 1861.

Is he being held down or lifted up?

ah, Paris!

A glimpse of a fantastic museum in Paris.  The Musée D'Orsay is housed in an old train station and showcases an amazing Impressionist collection.
