Rita Crane Photography: View from Montmartre, Paris / Le Dome des Invalides / Tombeau de Napoleon /
More memories of Paris!
Le dome des Invalides etait comme un bijou dans cet ocean de batiments. J'ai ete inspire' par toutes les differentes sortes d'architecture que l'on pouvait voir, de l'ancien mur sans platre au premier plan, jusqu'au dome dore' des Invalides, et les buildings modernes a l'horizon !!
Montmartre is the highest hill in Paris, and a village atmosphere still pervades these ancient streets. There's a great description of it in Wikipedia if you like history: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montmartre
The building with the gold dome is part of Les Invalides. Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia: "Les Invalides in Paris, France consists of a complex of buildings in the 7th arrondissement containing museums and monuments, all relating to France's military history, as well as a hospital and a retirement home for war veterans, the building's original purpose. It is also the burial site for some of France's war heroes." You can read more about it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Invalides
And here is the website of the Invalides and its Dome -- also known as the Museum of the Army. It is famously the location of Napoleon's tomb: www.musee-armee.fr/en/your-visit/museum-spaces/dome-des-i...
