Continue along the Rue de Varenne to one of the city’s grandest monuments, the Hôtel des Invalides. The imposing Invalides complex was built by Louis XIV in the 17th century as a military hospital and retirement home for up to 4,000 soldiers. It included the vast grass esplanade stretching to the Seine, the soldiers’ church St-Louis-des-Invalides, and the royal chapel Eglise du Dôme. In 1840, Napoleon’s exhumed remains were placed in the tomb under the chapel’s golden dome, almost 20 years after the emporer’s death in exile on St-Helena.
