A worker cleans the tomb of Napoleon I during the final restoration works under the “Dome des Invalides” where his body lies under six separate sarcophagi at the Saint Louis des Invalides Cathedral in Paris, France, 16 April 2021. The French National Museum of the Invalides and the Napoleon Fondation financed the restoration as France prepares the celebrations of the bicentennial of the death of Napoleon Bonaparte, who died in exile on the island of Saint Helena on 05 May 1821. The official commemorations of his death is seen controversial in France among those considering Napoleon representing a dark part of the French history and those who support its legacy.
