Paris, France: Army Museum

For those who like to see a lot of military history at one sitting, the Army Museum or the Musée de l'Armée is definitely the stop to make.

It was created around 1905 when two smaller museums merged. It includes main building and two churches, and is said to contain 500,000 objects.

The history of French warfare is covered in the exhibits, extending from ancient times through World War II. Some of France's greatest military leaders are buried there. There's also a tribute to Charles de Gaulle, leader of the Free French forces in World War II.
