Saint Barbara's Day at the Army Museum: a free and original family event
- As every year the museum of the Army in collaboration with the Artillery School of Draguignan and its brass band celebrates the feast of Saint Barbara, which is the feast of the artillerymen.
- Small reminder: Saint Barbara is the Patron Saint of fireworks, gunners, artillerymen, miners and firemen. Saint Barbara conjures up thunder, lightning, and all accidents linked to the explosion of gunpowder.
- To celebrate the feast of Saint Barbara, the courtyard of the Invalides is the scene of a free historical show, family around the artillery.
- It is a festive weekend mixing performances, reenactments and presentation of military equipment.
- Specialists from the artillery regiments retrace the evolution of the artillery from the First Empire to the present day to the sound of the Draguignan Military School band.
- It's a free and exceptional animation for the general public.
