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.

    A good pattern in this one. The cannon do look old.

    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.
