If you love military history then this is the place for your. My wife and I went because of me and she wanted to see Napoleons tomb. She ended up liking the Army Museum (Musee de l'Armee) more than I. This is a place of history and great scenery. Don't miss it. more

I wouldn't miss Invalides anyhow so since you're there may as well stop. more

SUPERB! This was the place that most exceeded my expectations. If you're a fan of all things military, then this is the place YOU GOTTA SEE! Hotel Invalides is the name of the place, but it houses the Army Museum. It was originally built by King Louis 13 (i think) for his loyal soldiers returning from their many battles as... more

This is a great museum, especially for WWII buffs, despite the French orientation on the credit for victory. more
