The Saint-Louis-des-Invalides and Dôme churches form a complex that was designed by the architect Jules Hardouin-Mansart
Built under the reign of Louis XIV, the Saint-Louis-des-Invalides cathedral and the Eglise du Dôme form an ensemble designed by architect Jules Hardouin-Mansart. For reasons of royal etiquette, the two churches held services for two different audiences. The first is called the soldiers' church, the second the royal church. This meant that the king didn't have to rub shoulders with his troops. The Dome church is famous for housing Napoleon I 's tomb in a circular crypt.

It was very challenging to find the entry points. Once you do, you have to go through security checks. Once you pass the security checks, you can choose where to go because there are other attractions like the army museum and so on. We wanted to go to the Cathedral because it was free and other attractions were not. The Cathedral resembles a pro war atmosphere perhaps because it is for the military. The architecture is remarkable. The art and information provided is great. The places are clearly marked. I believe this cathedral is the only free attraction in this compound or building even going to see the tomb of Napoleon demand the cost ...

It is on a huge land. No toilets are available wo ticket, no exit, where it is the sign, you should walk back minutes back to the entrance. Poorly orginized museum, disappointing. Worst experience in Paris.
