Umphhh!


I would say that this is a mouthful!

Whether you are a history buff or not, you would surely enjoy the display of cannons in Cour d'Honneur.

We previously visited the cannons here.

Cour d'Honneur -- Les Invalides



You do not have to be a fan of France's military history to appreciate the beautiful patina on the cannons in Cour d'Honneur. Some of them date from the reign of François 1er, 1515-1567.





I have heard that decorators and gardeners go to extreme measures to get the green patina that the centuries have adorned naturally.
