Les Invalides

Les Invalides is a complex of buildings in Paris, France, containing museums and monuments relating to French military history. The complex was initiated by Louis XIV in 1670 as a home and hospital for aged and disabled soldiers, and was designed by Libéral Bruant and Jules Hardouin-Mansart. The complex includes the Cathedral of Saint-Louis-des-Invalides and the Dôme des Invalides, a shrine to French military figures and the final resting place of Napoleon. The complex has served as a scene for several key events in French history, including the storming of the Bastille in 1789 and Napoleon's entombment in 1840.learn more on wikipedia
