invention of the battery, as well as a type 020 locomotive by
Stephenson. The museum regularly organises lectures, debates and
temporary exhibitions.
Visiting Paris
Paris is a close-knit and welcoming place with a pleasant
climate. The Seine cuts across the city and two woods on either side
offer a breath of fresh air. Indeed, Paris has been blessed by
nature. From Lutetia to the Napoleon Bonaparte Empire, from the
declaration of the Republic to the Paris Commune: Paris was right at
the heart of events that marked French history and shaped its
present.
There are more than 40 museums in Paris, France, from egyptian
antiquity to XVIII th century painting in the Louvre and from
Impressionnists to Modern Art through Orsay and Picasso Museums. For
more information, see the Paris
Tourism Office website.
