tank is an FT-17.
Yes, the museum got only one AFV, but the new WWII area is very
interresting, on 3 floors, with many uniforms, weapons, and even a
goliath... Many documentary film, both in french and english, with
interresting pictures. And in the museum himself you've got a library, with
many interresting books.
If you're interrested in aircraft, you could go to the Musée du Bourget, in
the subburds (something like 5 km away from Paris). There are many aircraft
from the beginning to now. The museum library is also interresting, but of
course only about planes. As i'm talking about aircraft, an extremly good
model shop, selling both afv and aircraft model, but specialized on aircraft
is Kit N Doc, 144 rue Martre, 92110 Clichy La Garenne (By subway and walk or
bus (500m away from the station)).
