Having visited Paris in the spring of last year we made an excursion to the famous house of disabled. Initially, the house of persons with disabilities was created by the orders of Louis of the fourteenth. The fact is that earlier the service in the army lasted for 15-20 years, and the older soldiers who returned from distant campaigns did not have any means to live and were forced to ask alms on the street. Seeing this unfavorable painting, the king ordered the creation of a special complex, in which his former soldiers could be stuck to the rest of their days while on public security. It was these soldiers who received military fouls and called the disabled.
But, this is all the story, back to the excursion. The excursion program was purchased by us in the Russian-speaking Tour Bureau in Paris. The cost of the entrance ticket is 15 euros. Tickets can also be bought at the entrance to the museum. Great hype in the house of disabled, there was no in April. During the excursion, the group is accompanied by a professional guide. Duration - about an hour. The excursion is interesting because during her the guide described in detail us not only a detailed history of creating a house of persons with disabilities, but the fact that we were able to visit Napoleon's tomb is. His body is now resting in a huge coffin, in numerous sarcophages.
It was very interesting to know that in France, in spite of a large number of contradictions, he all was recognized as a national hero. The excursion is well suited for adults, youth, as well as elderly people, as it is absolutely not tedious. To families with kids, it most likely will seem boring. I recommend to visit the house of persons with disabilities to those who are interested in the world history. After all, this complex is connected not only with the famous French emperor Napoleon, but he immediately, after the capture of Paris, visited Hitler and made his "lept" into the organization of this complex. In the house of disabled guests allowed a photo and video shooting. Interestingly, the house of persons with disabilities is acting and today, former legionnaires of the French army, who have lost their health during military conflict, protecting the interests of France. The excursion is very informative, during her we learned many historical facts about the history of France. I recommend everyone to visit this absolutely not a tiring excursion in the heart of Paris.
