Beneath the golden dome of Les Invalides in Paris, France, rests one of history’s most iconic figures—Napoleon Bonaparte. His monumental red quartzite casket, encircled by twelve statues symbolizing military victories, lies at the center of the crypt. #Napoleon #LesInvalides #ParisHistory #FrenchHistory | Walk Among Heroes

I’m finally onto the main event for this third and final section. Les Invalides was built under Louis XIV in 1671 as a hospital and home for wounded soldiers. Designed by Libéral Bruant, it housed thousands of veterans, while Hardouin-Mansart later added the iconic golden dome, completed in 1706. Today, it stands as both a military museum and the resting place of Napoleon whose statue will be placed to the left facing the facade__✍🏻🇫🇷⚜️ #paris #illustration #lesinvalides #napoleon #ink crossh
