We didn't really mean to see the Cite de l'Architecture, but it was on our way to the Eiffel Tower. We were walking past when the fountains at the front erupted in a spectacular display of water cannon artistry.
The Eiffel Tower, tourist Mecca and blockades of hawkers flogging souvenirs to wade through. I was also approached here with the string scam.
Down a long approach park to the Eiffel Tower is the Ecole Militaire. Turning here we ventured on to the Musee d'Armee and Napoleon's Tomb. This is well worth seeing as the classical architecture was comparitively recently built. And it's almost all marble.
