Best Answer

Napoleon Bonaparte is not buried in a well. He is in fact buried in the Dome Church in the Hôtel National des Invalides in Paris. His body is encased in a number of caskets before being laid in the final grandiose sarcophagus made of red porphyry on display in the center of what can be described as a very ornate crypt in the center of the church with views from above as well as along the corridors surrounding the tomb. The wide hole in the floor of the church, from the rim of which the tomb can be viewed, is referred to in architectural terms as a well -- hence your confusion.
