The Tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte

#shorts #history

A quick look at the tomb of the Emperor Napoleon in Paris. Also buried here are his son and several other family members, as well as other great French leaders.

The tomb is constructed in a way that (quoting from an audio book) "either you have stand above and bow your head before him, or you have to look up at him."

This is so unreal.. That person is in there.

What you do in life, echoes into eternity.

I went to paris during a school trip and visited here. You just "feel" the presence of a man who shook empires, even if the tomb is fairly modest and he has been dead for almost 200y

The fact that they needed that big of a tomb for him showed how much everyone wanted him to stay where he was this time

This Tomb randomly makes me want to Salute because Napoleon was a Badass

As a French subscriber and Napoleon enthusiast I would have loved to welcome you there ! Vive l’empereur !

[VentiVonOsterreich]

Even when dead and buried in a very simple tomb, you can already feel how powerful he was at his prime just by being there

I am not from France but from India far away from it, my Father used to tell me stories about Napoleon when I was a Kid, he bought a Napoleon 2002 miniseries DVD and we used to watch it together in the night, he admired Napoleon alot, he was a fan of great generals of history, I also begin to idolize him and he is my idol till this day😇.

Im 33 and American. I cried when i visited the Emperor’s tomb. And it is not a facility. It is a Mausoleum. A resting place for hundreds of the bravest and most brilliant men in European History.

A truly fascinating place which contains the tombs of so many famous military minds, Napoleon, Turenne, Vauban, Mac-Mahon, Foch, Leclerc...

[ribbitminecraft]

I was there four days ago. I so wish I had met you. Dang.

Keep doing great work

I've been to Paris twice and I visited Les Invalides twice to visit Napoleon's tomb. It's just incredible. The grandeur of that place just emanates eminence and power. Very fitting for such a great man.

To those not educated about Napoleon beyond secondary/high school, it’s a shame to not have a deeper education than “short-man syndrome”, because he is one of the most fascinating figures in history to me.

[calvinmcfarlandsr.]

He was one the greatest ground commanders ever. If not the best ever. The forces that came together at waterloo were a testament to his glory and brilliants. Had Blucher not arrived, who knows.😊

[SuperDalite]

Granted the man only lived to his early 50’s but what a life and his love of his country. He put France first as leaders today should put their own country first.

[Bobbarfbag-yr]

The French don't mess around when it comes to spectacular architecture!

[HyperSonicX]

The Hôtel des Invalides is far more than just Napoleon's tomb, it's also a huge war museum about all of French military history, and frankly you need an entire day to see all of it, it is IMMENSE
