Invalides

A few days ago, while walking back home from the metro, i heard some singing and this was what i saw outside the Invalides.

I have no idea what the ocassion was actually, haha. But the building behind, is where Musée de L'Armée (Army Museum) is. Also, Napoleon's tomb is in that dome shaped building behind. Ferdinand Foch is there too. This whole compoud is called Hôtel des Invalides, and its orginal purpose was a hospital as well as to house all the war veterans that had no place to go after the war ended.

Napoleon's Tomb

Being more of a history student rather than an art student, this is actually my favourite museum in Paris (:
And it looks beautiful at night! In fact, when you walk pass it, the eiffel tower is lit up at night, right in front of you too. Well, at least that's the direction towards my place. haha.

Here's a couple of photos i took in June when i first visited the museum...

I'll be going to Normandy this saturday, to see the D-Day beaches and eat seafood! After stressing the last 2 weeks, i really can't wait for this day trip! (:

Bisous!
