Where will you find this Dome and what lies underneath?

Is it the Basilica of St Peter in Rome and the tomb of St Peter is underneath?

I wish that I'd have kept my Fred Olsen brochure and then I would have had a clue.     :(

Is this better Yorkie?

The Invalides Complex

The complex of buildings known as Les Invalides sits in Paris's 7th arrondissement and consists of museums and monuments related to the military history of France. The most recognizable and well-known part of Les Invalides is the Dôme des Invalides,

I wonder if it was this one?

So far we have had Barcelona, Ajaccio and Cadiz from Yorkie.  D)

Hugo - you're very close - almost close enough for me to give you half a point, but I'm gonna make you earn the other half by answering the question in full.  Specifically what lies underneath?    :D

Bri, that was the cruise, but we didn't go anywhere near the Dome in question, in fact the place was not even on the itinerary.   ;)

Hollies has it once again.  It is indeed the dome of Napolean's Tomb.  The clue was in the lie!  And after my recent question about Ajaccio I thought it would be answered a bit quicker.  Such is life.  And you were so close Hugo.  ZXZ

No! You can't give it to me. I didn't have a clue until Hugo got the Invalides. Well done Hugo I say because I looked at many, many domes online and still couldn't find it.

You're a gentleman Yorkie.      $good$

Thanks Hollins, I was lucky as it was only the second dome I looked at but I must pay more attention next time to Yorkies clues.
