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.

The monumental dome is inspired by St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

Lieu admirable qui se prête au recueillement.
Malheureusement des visiteurs semblent ignorer où ils se trouvent.
Ne pourrait il pas y avoir un " gardien" de ce sanctuaire afin de faire respecter le silence qui va de soi.
Ils seraient dans une mosquée ils ne pourraient pas se comporter ainsi.

Église accessible par la cour d'honneur et qui sert lors du décès d'un militaire.
L'intérieur est imposant et bénéficie d'un éclairage naturel qui permet une bonne visibilité , belle orgue.
