They have quite an interesting collection, to say the least.

Yes, it is rather rich. But when you go visiting the 1870- ww1-ww2 section, don' t lose too much time at the beginning, because the best is, in my opinion, at the end of it. And usually, you don' t have time to see the end. Moreover, at the end of ww2, there is a writing " end of the visit"...But it is wrong! After that writing there are still about 3 rooms full of very interesting stuff like the war in the pacific!

If I am in Paris when you come, we can go together if you wish, I can offer you the entrance.

This is indeed a great museum. I always spend a few hours when in Paris, of course in the Napoleonic section :wink2:. A few pics on that one on my TS album: http://www.treefrogtreasures.com/forum/album.php?albumid=1437

Thanks for even more pics from Les Invalides, looks like will need at least 3 days there now, what with the WW1, WW2 and going back to the Napoleonic Galleries

As if I need a further excuse to visit Paris again
