Normandy Attractions

My visit to the Musée des Invalides was a real dive into history. Upon arrival, the architecture commands respect and silence. Each room tells a piece of France's military past. The armor and uniforms are impressive in their precision and condition. One can imagine the soldiers who wore them and the battles they fought. The cannons and period objects bear witness to centuries of conflict. The atmosphere is both solemn and captivating. You move slowly, almost naturally, to take everything in. The explanations help you to better understand the historical issues at stake. Some periods stand out more than others due to their intensity. The place invites reflection on war and its consequences. The richness of the collections is impressive. Every detail seems steeped in memory. The tour is dense but well organized. Time flies by. The calm contrasts with the violence of the events recounted. The visit becomes almost introspective. Arriving at Napoleon's tomb is a powerful moment. The place commands deep respect. The grandeur of the site is immediately striking. You feel the weight of history. The light and space reinforce the emotion. It is a moment of pause and contemplation. You leave with many images in your mind. And above all, with new knowledge. The visit leaves a lasting impression. It makes you want to learn more. An essential place to understand the history of France.

No waiting time and considerate visitors. I spared myself the weapons museum and made full use of the time for the Invalides and the Rodin Museum.

Although we chose to go in December, and it was very cold, it was an awesome experience. Our guide spoke excellent English and was very pleasant. Highly recommend this experience.

The large parking lot with shuttle bus drove us there and back quickly. Parking lot, if you are there all day, 24€ incl. shuttle. Mont Saint-Michel is very impressive. An unforgettable experience with a great view, lots of shopping and restaurants. The many stairs provide enough exercise 😅.

We loved visiting the aquarium, everything was incredible.... it was a shame we didn't get to see the shows at one we didn't get to in time because we had to go all the way back again. And the other one was too crowded and we didn't get in.... but otherwise everything was spectacular 😊
