This photograph was taken in February 2013, Paris, France. Louis XIV, the French King who built the Palace of Versailles, staged many wars in Europe.
In 1670, he commissioned Les Invalides in Paris, a hospital for wounded soldiers.
With this large church topped by a 107 meters high golden dome, Les Invalides are a masterpiece of French classical architecture.
The ashes of the greatest French military genius of all times, Napoleon, rests under the dome of Les Invalides and attracts many visitors to Paris.
