Before I left Hotel des Invalides, I stopped in the cafe for lunch and had the best pastry of the entire trip! It was a shortbread based tart with a thin layer of caramel and on top of that was a tangy lemon custard...I LOVE lemon! On top were vanilla flavoured meringues. Along with a quiche and a capuccino, this made for a lovely ending to my visit. I have to say, of all the things on my "to do" list in Paris, the Hotel des Invalides was at the bottom. It was something I wanted to see, but if I didn't manage to do so, I wasn't in the least concerned. However, to my surprise, it turned out to be one of my favorite places. I highly recommend that you make it a priority on your trip to Paris.
