Sun on the Invalides

The sun was shining through the clouds on the main entrance of  "les Invalides" giving a great light for a picture of this Paris landmark.

Mansart

This statue of Mansart, French architect (1598-1666) lies in the garden of the Invalides. Mansart was one of the architect of that building.

Dome des Invalides roof

As promissed yesterday, here is a close up of the Dome des Invalides' roof. It is beautiful and especially when the sun is on it and the sky is blue like I had the chance to capture last Saturday. You should also see it at night !

Les Invalides

This view of the Dome des Invalides is taken from the avenue de Breteuil. The Invalides is a museum of army and the place where the tomb of Napoleon lies. The roof is covered with gold. I will post a close up tomorrow.

Ecole Militaire

Sunset on the Ecole Militaire building located in front of the Champs de Mars where the Eiffel tower is. 

The statue is The Marechal Foch, a French soldier from world war I.
