Esplanade des Invalides
A battery of cannons is lined up in front of the Esplanade des Invalides. These cannons are made of bronze, date from the 18th century and come from the capture of Turkish enemies (they have beautiful Arabic inscriptions). They have charming names... such as " Caressing ", " Rigid ", " Burning " and yes... even " Penetrating " !
