5th May: Napoleon died 188 years ago

[Martin]

Today is Napoleons day of Death.
He died at St. Helena but later he was buried in Paris.
In this building: The Dôme des Invalides :
This picture was taken from the top of the Eiffel tower (309,63 m) which I visited last week.



The inside of the Dôme :



The last resting place of Napoleon Bonaparte :



We had a very nice week in Paris and of course (for the kids) in Eurodisney!!

May he rest in peace.
This brings up a question: What is your favorite victory of Napoleon's?
Mine is Austerlitz, one of the most brilliant feats of leadership in history.

Did he die or was he killed, I mean isn´t it said that he was poisoned with arsenic?
"Able was I ere I saw Elba"

Austerlitz must be his greatest victory, so indeed it's a very interesting one. Personally, I allways liked his first Italian campaign.

Yes, the Italian campaign was amazing.
