Napoleon's Tomb

 

                  
Napoleon died in St. Helena, and his body was brought back to Paris, France. His tomb is huge! It's weird when you think about it -- Napoleon, once a hero, then a villain, then I suppose a hero in the eye of French Nationalists. His tomb was moved from St. Helena (where he died) back to France. Eventually, it was moved here, to Les Invalides. Other famous Frenchmen are in this building, such as Marshal Foch of WWI fame. However, no one's tomb receives as much attention from tourists as that of Napoleon.
