Napolean's Tomb
Our second stop was the current and hopefully final resting place of Napolean. Ninety years after his death his body was brought back to Paris with a ceremonial march through the Arch d' Triomph and eventually placed in with his brothers in Les Invalides. There was no expense spared for the tomb and Napoleon Bonaparte's body lies within six separate coffins. They are made of iron, mahogany, two of lead, ebony, and the outer one is red porphyry.
The tomb sits on a green-granite pedestal surrounded by 12 pillars of victory. This stop was just quick enough to get some pictures.
