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.

Le lieu vaut le détour: sous le dôme, vous pourrez voir l'imposant tombeau de Napoléon. Tout autour, il y a de nombreux bas reliefs à sa gloire.
