Napoleons tomb and the war history artifacts were highlights of the tour. The cathedral where Napoleon's tomb is was quite ornate.

This is a great museum to visit if you enjoy history! Almost every exhibit had infographics in both French and English, which made it easy for us to enjoy! The history covered by the exhibits we visited spanned from the 1500's and on through the 1950's, with so much in between! Highly recommend for history buffs.

The museum has a very orderly and well thought out sample to go through and understand the military process before and during the wars of the twentieth century. I was also able to see and be surprised by Napoleon's tomb...a highly recommended museum if you are interested in history.

Napoleon's tomb is still very impressive, and the museum is very rich! Small downside: museum items very (too) dusty, could do with a little cleaning (some people were coughing on the spot).
