Highlights
The Musée de l'Armée (Army Museum) in Paris is one of the three largest military museums in the world and houses one of the largest collections of military history and art, as well as the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte (no less!), who has been resting here since 1861. Enjoy priority access to this collection of weapons, armor, and art from a variety of wartime contexts.
The Artillery Museum houses a large collection of artillery pieces collected during the Revolution. Pose next to a cannon for a selfie.
The Dôme des Invalides, which contains the tomb of Napoleon I, was built between 1677 and 1706 and its 110-meter golden dome reaches toward the Parisian sky. His son and brothers also rest here and the laurel wreath and inscriptions represent the greatest victories of the Empire.
In the Department of Ancient Arms and Armor, you can admire armor and weapons from the 13th to the 17th century. Objects related to the main figures in French history, from Francis I to Louis XIII, will help you imagine what warfare was like during that period. Likewise, in the Modern Department, you can relive battles, look into the lives of soldiers, and see how technologies have changed over the years.
Get priority entry to one of Paris's most famous museums and a front-row seat to understanding some of history's greatest conflicts.
