Invalides & Napoleon's Tomb
The group of buildings 'Hotel des Invalids' was ordered by Louis XIV the ('Sun King') to house the king's old soldiers. A year later he commissioned the Eglise du Dome, a magnificent Baroque church with its beautiful gold-leafed dome, which holds the impressive tomb of Napoleon. Napoleon was brought here from his grave in St. Helena where he was exiled, to fulfill his last wish to be buried 'on the banks of the Seine among the people of France whom I have loved so much. In the complex is the Army Museum with the largest collection of militia in the world. Leading from the impressive forecourt of the Invalids with its captured canons runs the tree-lined Esplanade des Invalides to the grand Pont Alexandre III a gift from Czar Alexander to commemorate the 1892 French-Russian alliance.

Musee Rodin
Musee Rodin housed in the magnificent Hotel Biron. August Rodin originally rented rooms in the Hotel for living and as a studio. There were plans to destroy the house but in 1916 the French government agreed to convert it into a museum for him. The museum now houses his sculptures, academic paintings and sketches. There are also several works by Camille Claudel, the talented sculptor who became Rodin’s muse, model, and lover at the age of 17. He was nearly 50. The lovely garden is a setting for some of Rodin’s best known works including ‘The Thinker’, ‘The Burghers of Calais, and ‘The Gates of Hell’.

Parc du Champ de Mars
The Champ de Mars was the site in 53 BC that Julius Caesar finally conquered the rebellious Parisii tribe and later, in 886, the Parisians beat back the invadingVikings. However, it acquired its name during the time of Napoleon I when it was used as a drill ground for the adjacent Ecole Militaire (Military School). Louis XV and his mistress Madame de Pompadour commissioned the Ecole Militaire, and it was here young Napoleon, aged 15, arrived from Corsica and enrolled in the Military Academy.
