Les Invalides, Paris
Built in 1679, Les Invalides (The National Residence of the Invalids) is an incredible piece of architecture.
The building houses the museum of the Army of France and is the burial site of Napoleon Bonaparte among other French war heroes.
Here are some shots.

Fabulous shots of that historic building! I particularly like the fourth one - the tension between the colossal statue and the three elegantly dressed tourists is brilliant.
Thanks Martina; they're so elegant, aren't they?
