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.

It takes about 3 hours.

In the basement there is an exhibition dedicated to the life of Charles de Gaulle.

And of course, everyone wants to see the unusual sarcophagus of Napoleon Bonaparte and the pantheon of famous French soldiers from different eras under the famous dome.
