A woman with arms outstretched, wearing a blue shirt and yellow skirt, dances in front of a woman with a giant red feather costume. Women with colorful costumes dance in the street, a young girl with a metalic silver dress with orange, red, and yellow skirt and hat dances in the center. Mina Tindle up on stage singing "Pas les saisons", she is squinting into the lights to see the crowd, holding her guitar, with her mouth near the standing microphone.
The final weekend in June was time for the Carnival Tropical, a Caribbean carnival celebrated near City Hall in June. Many different teams danced in the tropical carnival. This young dancer caught my attention with her energy and enthusiasm as she danced with her team down Rue de la Coutellerie to Avenue Victoria. We attended a free outdoor concert and saw two of my favorite French perormers: Mina Tindle (pictured above) and Cali. This was a free concert at Place de la République on June 25th.
Napoleon's Tomb, a massive thing Napoleon's Tomb, a massive thing Napoleon's Tomb, a massive thing
The Tomb of Napoleon I. It stands in the Dôme des Invalides as part of the Musée de l’Armée. The Dôme des Invalides is worth seeing if you have a week in Paris. A model of Blaye, Gironde, made in 1703 at a scale of 1:600. The French military and government had surveys made, and then these exact copies of fortresses and cities were made for planning. The Musée des Plans Reliefs in Paris showcases many of these models, some dating back to the 17th century, but many from the early 19th century.

This is parade armor for the Chinese Emperor. In fact, it belonged to Emperor Qianlong. I don’t know the story of how it came to be in the Musée de l’Armée in Paris, but it is impressive. Another Asian helmet displayed in the Museum of the Army in Paris. I’ve always liked looking at armor, and the Museum of the Army in Paris has a fine collection.
