Les Invalides

A great place to start in Paris is the Hôtel National des Invalides which is a real gem, with museums and monuments all relating to French military history. The Musée de l´Armée, part of this huge complex, has a truly unrivalled collection of armour and weapons through the ages mixed with videos and stories about the history behind France's military development. The museum's collection of war art is also one of the largest and most recognised in the world.

Also get a ticket straight away to see the Dôme des Invalides, where all the French war heroes are buried, including Napoleon Bonaparte I - an impressive mausoleum and a great tribute to France's heroes. If you're into both French temptations and unrivalled military history, then a city break in Paris is a must! Find a weekend break or a mini holiday to Paris at Risskov and get away to experience the City of Light.
