Originally a military hospital, this complex of buildings now houses military museums, artifacts...and of course, the tombs of famous French military men...including Napolean and members of his family. Construction began in 1670 and the complex of baroque buildings was completed in 1679. The architects were Libéral Bruant and Jules Hardouin Mansart.
