Introduction

Hôtel des Invalides, also known as the National Residence of the Invalids, is a popular military museum located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, France. The building was originally constructed in 1670 as a hospital for the French army by King Louis XIV. In 1861, Napoleon Bonaparte's tomb was moved to the chapel of the Hôtel des Invalides. The museum attracts a large number of visitors daily, with Napoleon's sarcophagus located on the ground floor and can be viewed from the upper-level circular corridor. The golden-domed chapel of the Hôtel des Invalides houses the red coffin of Napoleon, drawing crowds of people who come to pay their respects. The military museum within the Hôtel des Invalides showcases war weapons from different historical periods and countries, as well as a World War II memorial, evoking memories of that era.
