In the few years Napoleon wielded power, he left his mark on the world and transformed Paris: partly by making it the capital of Europe, partly through an ambitious program of construction.

We will take you to his monumental creations: the Arc de Triomphe at Etoile, the smaller Arc at the Carrousel, the rues de Rivoli and Castiglione, the Vendome column, the Madeleine Church, the Greek façades of the Palais Bourbon and the Palais Brongniart (the Paris stock exchange), the Chatelet column, the Pont d'Iena, several fountains (Mars at r. St. Dominique, la Paix at r. Bonaparte, Sevres at r. de Sevres, and Medicis at the Luxembourg Gardens).

This tour of Napoleon's Paris also enters the Louvre to view several of his portraits and monumental paintings, as well as admire that part of the museum which he completed so astutely, in part to house the treasures brought home from his campaigns in Egypt, Germany, Austria, Spain and Italy. We will also visit Notre Dame cathedral, which still stands today thanks to Napoleon, who saved it from destruction and where he later crowned himself emperor.

We will also visit the Hotels Bourrienne and Beauharnais, pass by the Ecole Militaire, where Napoleon was a student, before proceeding to the Musee de l'Armee where there are numerous portraits, souvenirs and personal effects of the Emperor. This Paris Luxury tour concludes at his tomb under the Invalides Dome, one of the most perfect in the western world.
