Battles and Conflicts in Europe: Napoleon's tomb

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.
