Napoleon

Place d'Invalides in Paris, where Napoleon is buried

The Tomb of Napoleon. I had heard that the stone used for his grave was a rare type that had been reserved for emperors and was only quarried in Egypt. They ran out and found another source in Russia.

This is the church that is on the other side of Napoleons tomb. It is only open a few times a year and we were lucky. I had been here last year and had written for permission to see the tombs under the alter where General Sebastiani who served under Napoleon is buried. He eventually became the leading General in France which is called the rank of Marechal. He is related to my mothers side of the family. Kinda cool that the kids were able to see this.

Napoleons stuffed Arabian horse “Vizir”. Didn't "Trigger" from the Lone Ranger get stuffed also?

Emperor Napoleon at the height of his career.

Emperor Napoleon later in life. I found out he died at my age, 52.

Armour that was used in the age of Napoleon. The description did not give much information but the days of armor were obviously at an end.
