Caserne Guynemer, Military museum in Rueil-Malmaison, France.

The entrance pavilion of Caserne Guynemer displays military uniforms, weapons, and documents chronicling the Swiss Guards regiment of the French royal army.

Built in 1756 during the reign of Louis XV by architect Charles Axel Guillaumot, this barracks provided accommodation for Swiss Guards protecting the king.

The museum collections demonstrate the military alliance between France and Switzerland through artifacts, equipment, and documents from the 17th to 19th centuries.

Guided tours lasting 60 minutes require advance reservation and cost 7 euros per person for groups of ten or more participants.

This barracks remains the sole surviving structure of three Swiss Guard barracks, with its counterparts in Courbevoie and Saint-Denis no longer standing.
