Esplanade des Invalides
75007 Paris
The « Hotel des Invalides » was built in 1671 under the influence of King Louis XIV. He desired it to be a place of rest and cure for his wounded soldiers.
The building and the courtyard were built by Libéral Bruant and finished in 1676. The hotel gave shelter to 4 000 ex-soldiers. The very same year, a minister of the king ordered the construction of the church “Eglise annexe” Saint Louis. The architect of the church was Hardouin Mansart. The king and his court used the dome, while the other part of the church was reserved for the soldiers.
In 1840 King Louis-Philippe asked for the repatriation of Napoleon’s remains.
Since this date, the dome is Napoleon’s mausoleum and contains the tomb of other famous military leaders, such as Vauban, Foch, Turenne…
Various museums are now present at The Hotel des Invalides :
-->The museum of the Army.
-->The museum of « Plans-reliefs ».
-->The museum of Liberation.
-->It contains a modern hospital as well.
