Historial Charles de Gaulle, History museum in Les Invalides, Paris, France.
The Historial Charles de Gaulle spans 1,500 square meters beneath the Cour de la Valeur, featuring multimedia displays and interactive exhibits about the French leader.
President Jacques Chirac initiated the museum project in 2004 to address the absence of a memorial space dedicated to Charles de Gaulle in Paris.
The museum presents 400 audiovisual documents and 20 hours of recorded content that detail the political and military achievements of General de Gaulle.
The admission ticket includes an automatic infrared-activated audio guide system available in French and English, guiding visitors through the exhibition spaces.
A 25-minute biographical film projected using advanced technology tells Charles de Gaulle's story in eight different languages.
