Introduction to the Invalides: The Invalides is the full name of the Invalides. Located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, France, the part that originally housed disabled soldiers is now a military museum, and the original church was converted into the mausoleum of Napoleon Bonaparte. The Invalides, also known as the "Paris Invalides", is a building built during the period of Louis XIV, the "Sun King" of France. On February 24, 1670, Louis XIV ordered the construction of a building to accommodate disabled soldiers in his army. From then on, the Invalides "came into being in response to the order." Today, the Invalides still performs the function of housing disabled soldiers when it was first built. It is also home to several museums. The mausoleum of Napoleon Bonaparte was moved under the church of Les Invalides in 1861. It attracts a large number of tourists every day. There are also the tombs of some of Napoleon's other relatives and other generals.
