Walk from the Eiffel Tower to the Invalides
A short walk in Paris around two emblematic places of the capital: the Eiffel Tower and the Invalides.
The walk starts at the Bir-Hakeim metro station and ends at the Invalides station. It is a very touristic visit of Paris that passes by the Eiffel Tower and the Hôtel des Invalides. If you want to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower, it is sometimes necessary to be patient to get to the elevators, the Eiffel Tower is said to be the most visited paying monument in the world.
The visit of the Invalides proposed here is a free visit. You can walk freely in the courtyard and go upstairs. It does not include the visits of the museum of the armies, nor the tomb of Napoleon which are paying. The museum is not free on the first Sunday of the month. Personally I think that if you like military museums, other museums in France are much more interesting in Normandy or in Verdun for example.
