Military Museum

The military history of the whole of France, not just Paris, takes up large parts of the massive Les Invalides complex.

As the name implies, these buildings were originally constructed as a hospital for the huge number of soldiers wounded in King Louis XIV's wars. The complex now houses the Musée de l'Armée, the Musée des Plans-Reliefs and the Musée de l'Ordre de la Libération.

France's proud military heritage is evident throughout, in an overwhelming wealth of paintings, engravings, uniforms and weapons. Of course Napoleon is well represented; displays include reconstructions of several of the Little Corporal's rooms, his death mask and one of his favourite horses, stuffed. Below the dome of Les Invalides's church lies Napoleon's elephantine tomb.

Hôtel National des Invalides. 129 Rue de Grenelle, 7e.
