Post-Trip Activity Notes

Pompidou was actually closed by the time we arrived, so only were able to see the exterior which is still interesting. - Another trip :(

Dome Church
This is the resting place of Napoleon. His body is entombed in the large red marble sarcophagus. The Dome Church is also a war museum.
Dome Church - Napoleon's Tomb
Montparnasse Cemetery
The cemetery was planned by Napoleon outside the city walls to replace the numerous congested small cemeteries within the old city, viewed as a health hazard at the turn of the 19th century.
Montparnasse Cemetery
There are several interesting tomb stones and one of our favorites is poet's Charles Pigeon Family Tomb. (the couple in bed)
Pompidou Center
The center is like a building turned inside out: escalators, elevators, air and water ducts and even the massive steel struts that are the building's skeleton have all been placed on the outside. This allows for an uncluttered space within it for the Musee National d'Art Moderne.
