Tomb of Joseph Bonaparte, Royal tomb at Dôme des Invalides, Paris, France
The Tomb of Joseph Bonaparte is located within the Dôme des Invalides beneath its golden dome structure in the 7th arrondissement. The burial chamber is situated among other prominent graves within this monumental space.
Joseph Bonaparte died in Florence in 1844, and his remains were transferred to the Dôme des Invalides in 1869. This relocation was part of a broader effort to bring significant family members back to France.
The burial site shows how France honors important figures by placing them in national monuments alongside military leaders. This practice reflects the significance these individuals held in French history and memory.
Access is through the main entrance of Les Invalides, where combined tickets cover multiple areas of the complex. Plan time to explore the entire site, and be prepared for the different levels within the crypt.
Joseph Bonaparte was Napoleon's elder brother and spent years living in exile outside France before his remains returned to this place. His position in the Dôme des Invalides highlights the Bonaparte family's importance in French history, though his own life story remains less celebrated than his brother's.
