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.

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.
