Musee de l'armee at Les Invalides

During our recent visit to Paris we visited Musee de l'armee at Les Invalides.  This was my 4th visit.

Here are just a few general shots from the visit.

The stonework is being cleaned and repaired.. looking great.

Napoleon's tomb... still impressive, even after 4 visits


A French 75 (the famous 'soixante quinze').
