Invalides & Napoleon's Tomb
The group of buildings
'Hotel des Invalids' was ordered by Louis XIV the ('Sun
King') to house the king's old soldiers. A year later he commissioned
the Eglise du Dome, a magnificent Baroque church with its beautiful
gold-leafed dome, which holds the impressive tomb of Napoleon. Napoleon
was brought here from his grave in St. Helena where he was exiled,
to fulfill his last wish to be buried 'on the banks of the Seine among
the people of France whom I have loved so much. In the complex is
the Army Museum with the largest collection of militia in the world.
Leading from the impressive forecourt of the Invalids with its captured
canons runs the tree-lined Esplanade des Invalides to the grand Pont
Alexandre III a gift from Czar Alexander to commemorate the 1892 French-Russian
alliance.
Musee Rodin
Musee
Rodin housed in the magnificent Hotel Biron. August
Rodin originally rented rooms in the Hotel for living and as a studio.
There were plans to destroy the house but in 1916 the French government
agreed to convert it into a museum for him. The museum now houses
his sculptures, academic paintings and sketches. There are also
several works by Camille Claudel, the talented sculptor who became
Rodin’s muse, model, and lover at the age of 17. He was nearly
50. The lovely garden is a setting for some of Rodin’s best
known works including ‘The Thinker’, ‘The Burghers
of Calais, and ‘The Gates of Hell’.
Parc du Champ de Mars
The Champ de Mars was the site in 53 BC that Julius Caesar finally
conquered the rebellious Parisii tribe and later, in 886, the Parisians
beat back the invadingVikings. However, it acquired its name during
the time of Napoleon I when it was used as a drill ground for the
adjacent Ecole Militaire (Military School). Louis XV and his mistress
Madame de Pompadour commissioned the Ecole Militaire, and it was
here young Napoleon, aged 15, arrived from Corsica and enrolled
in the Military Academy.

Excellent location, near from the most important places to go in Paris, easy to go anywhere from the Hotel. Excellent service provided by the people at the front desk, specially the girls who attended us in Spanish language. My wife and I had a really nice stay there, and won't have any doubt in recommending or staying again in your Hotel in case we visit Paris again. - Davila Martinez Miguel Angel (Nov 15, 2005)
The hotel was very clean and quite. It is a short walk away from the Eiffel Tower and most Metro stations. Moing around is fairly easy. I was more than happy about my stay at this hotel. The only weak point I would say was the room size. We were a group of three and sometimes the room felt a little small, specially if we take into consideration there was basically not room in the closet to place our stuff. On the other hand, breakfast, which was included, was very good and help us start our day full of energy. I would stay there again,definitely. - Diou Leopoldo (Jan 17, 2005)
