Army Museum

The Army Museum is housed in the Hotel des Invalides, a beautiful 17th century military hospital built by Louis XIV.  We saw at least 1 million pieces of armor, some swords, some guns, some tanks, some uniforms, and a vacationing couple from BYU.  The WWII section was really outstanding.  The highlight was probably Napoleon's tomb.  Takeaways: rock solid abs and a huge ego.

Okay, maybe Chris was right about the weather.
