The "Musée des Plans-Reliefs" is located in the Hôtel des Invalides and is particularly specialised in military models. The museum has a unique collection of miniature formats of various French cities and their surroundings. These replicas were initially used for military purposes or so-called "relief plans".
A closer look reveals that special attention was paid to city fortifications and topographical features such as hills and harbours. Currently, the Miniature Museum has 28 models of fortifications from the English Channel, the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts and the Pyrenees. It is also possible to visit the museum.
