Les Invalides

Whether or not you went up the Eiffel Tower, you have probably seen the prominent golden dome of Les Invalides sitting high at 351ft. tall from numerous places in the city. Les Invalides is more than just that gorgeous dome though. It’s a complex of buildings housing several museums relating to France’s military history as well as a hospital and retirement home for war veterans which still operates today. It’s most famous for being the resting place of Napoleon.
