Cour d'Honneur - Hôtel des Invalides

Cour d'Honneur


The patina of the cannons in the courtyard is stunning.
Some of them date from the reign of François 1er, 1515-1567.

Les canons se conservent mieux que les hommes.

We're celebrating what we call "the Armistice" today in Europe, end of 1st World War.

I hope I don't have to wait this long for the copper roof on my front porch to turn green! You are showing one of my favorite shades of green. Love the repetition.
