ÉGLISE DU DÔME AND SAINT-LOUIS-DES-INVALIDES
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 Église 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.
