Rodin and Napoleon

More buzzing around Paris on the Metro. One thing I have noticed is that the musicians who play in the hallways and on the cars are uniformly quite talented.
First stop is near the Rodin Museum, so the Metro is decorated with a copy of "The Thinker and "Balzac in a Monk's Robe."
Copies are OK to climb on."The Cathedral" framed William perfectly.

Then on to Napoleon's Tomb.

William lamented that this was a pretty church to just cut a hole in the floor for Napoleon. But only some of the floor decor was lost and a lot of gold decor was added.
