I went to visit Napoleon's tomb at Les Invalides. Also at Les Invalides were many military history items, including a TON of cannons and tanks. It is amazing how rich France's history is of war. They have truly been the center of a great deal of strife.
On this trip I also watched "The Count of Monte Cristo." I was going to go to Chateu D'if, but was told it was not that exciting. Watching this movie made being in France a great deal more fun and exciting though, including the parts about Napoleon. I learned that Napoleon was not originally entombed there, but was brought there later in the mid 1800s.
