Jackie, Jeff and Dean listening to an audio tour in Musée de Les Invalides

Les Invalides was originally a home or hospital for old or infirmed soldiers. Now it is a group of buildings which contain Napoleon’s tomb, museums, and monuments dealing with French military history. The temple houses Napoleon’s tomb, and several other prominent French military figures. Inside the museum itself are interesting exhibits about the military and wars that France has been involved in. We spend most of the time in the WWI and WWII wings- they are comprehensive, with English explanations near most displays.
