Les Invalides

L'hôtel national des Invalides, Invalides, Les Invalides
France, Paris
The Les Invalides, a grandiose building of the 17th century, became one of the first specialized charity houses in Europe for army veterans. The architectural ensemble has dimensions of 400 by 450 meters, and the height of the gilded dome is 107 meters. Now the Museum of the Army is located here, and the tomb of Napoleon is located in the church of the House. But even today, the Les Invalides works for its intended purpose - it receives war veterans.

The road to it goes from the majestic Alexander III bridge and offers a stunning view of the well-groomed territory to the army museum. There are French tanks from the 30s and 40s in the yard, which should appeal to men. The museum is rich in cutting weapons (the number of different kinds of sabers is amazing), uniforms of different eras (both French and Russian during World War II and later), and the museum is also rich in firearms from the period of the 18th-19th centuries. It was interesting to see things of Napoleon, starting from his whole room, where he slept and wrote, ending with his horse, standing behind the glass in a mummified form.
