Musée National de la Légion d'Honneur

Fodor's Review:

A must for military-history buffs only, the National Museum of the Legion of Honor is dedicated to homegrown and foreign military leaders. Housed in an elegant neoclassical mansion just across from the Musée d'Orsay, the museum features a vast collection of military decorations and paintings and video tributes to various luminaries, including U.S. General Dwight Eisenhower, a Légion member who led the Allied liberation of France in 1944. Entrance is free, and there are free English audioguides.
