Les Invalides in Paris, France, is a complex of buildings with a rich historical significance. Originally constructed in the late 17th century under the orders of King Louis XIV, its primary purpose was to serve as a hospital and retirement home for war veterans. Today, Les Invalides is home to several museums and monuments dedicated to the military history of France, including the Musée de l'Armée. One of its most notable features is the Dôme des Invalides, an impressive Baroque church with a gilded dome that houses the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte.
