Normandy Tours

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.

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 😅.

The purchase on the website went perfectly and at the appointed time I was able to start the tour of the abbey, which is absolutely magnificent. A place to visit, especially in fine weather. If you can avoid the shuttle bus, it's a 40-minute walk to get there.
