Final resting place of Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie

Step inside Empress Eugénie's exotic retreat, a chapel where Neo-Roman grandeur meets Hispano-Moorish fantasy. Napoleon III built it in 1864 as a private gift, filling the interior with Sèvres porcelain azulejos, Murano glass, and Alhambra-inspired capitals beneath a golden dome.
