Places to see in ( Paris - France ) Eglise du Dome
With its sparkling golden dome (1677–1735), the landmark church of the Hôtel des Invalides is one of the finest religious edifices erected under Louis XIV and was the inspiration for the United States' Capitol building. It received the remains of Napoléon in 1840; the extravagant Tombeau de Napoléon 1er comprises six coffins fitting into one another like a Russian doll.
The complex of buildings known as Les Invalides sits in Paris's 7th arrondissement and consists of museums and monuments related to the military history of France. The most recognizable and well-known part of Les Invalides is the Dôme des Invalides, a gold-domed building now used as a burial site for a number of the country's war heroes.
Proposed by Louis XIV in 1670 as a home for invalids - disabled and impoverished war veterans, Les Invalides was designed by Libéral Bruant and completed in 1676. That same year King Louis XIV - the Sun King - charged architect Jules Hardouin Mansart with the task of creating a separate private chapel at the Invalides for exclusive use of the royal family. It is this gold-domed church, completed in 1708 by de Cotte after Mansart died, that many individuals recognize. Inspired by Rome's St. Peter's Basilica, this chapel, known as Église du Dôme, is considered one of the world's most exciting examples of French Baroque architecture.
The dome itself is 107 meters high (351 ft), making it one of the tallest monuments in Paris, and was centrally placed in order to dominate the court of honor - one of fifteen courtyards at the complex, designed for military parades. The inside of the dome was painted by Charles de La Fosse, disciple of eighteenth century well-known French painter, Charles Le Brun.
Napoleon Bonaparte, whose last wish was to be buried at the banks of the Seine River, died on the island of St. Helena and was buried there until King Louis-Philippe decided to have his body exhumed and returned to Paris in 1840. He chose to have him entombed at Les Invalides.
In order to accommodate the tomb, architect Louis Visconti had to redesign the high altar of the domed church. Upon completion in 1861, the remains of Napoleon's body were then placed in six coffins inside a tomb, which was fashioned from red Finnish porphyry with a green granite base, and placed inside the crypt.

Le Panthéon - Montagne Saint Geneviève - Paris - France
Le Panthéon est un monument de style néo-classique situé dans le 5e arrondissement de Paris. Au cœur du Quartier latin, sur la montagne Sainte-Geneviève, il est au centre de la place du Panthéon et entouré notamment de la mairie du 5e arrondissement, du lycée Henri-IV, de l'église Saint-Étienne-du-Mont, de la bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève et de la faculté de droit.
Le nom du monument, Panthéon, vient du grec pántheion (πάνθειον), qui signifie « de tous les dieux ». Louis XV atteint de la syphilis avait fait le vœux de bâtir cette église qui abriterait la châsse de sainte Geneviève s'il était guéri ? Ce fut le cas.
Ce monument a maintenant vocation à honorer de grands personnages ayant marqué l'Histoire de France hormis pour les carrières militaires normalement consacrées au Panthéon militaire des Invalides.
Y sont notamment inhumés Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Victor Hugo, Louis Braille, Sadi Carnot, Émile Zola, Jean Jaurès, Jean Moulin, Jean Monnet, Pierre et Marie Curie, André Malraux ou encore Alexandre Dumas, qui y fait son entrée en 2002. Germaine Tillion, Geneviève de Gaulle-Anthonioz, Jean Zay et Pierre Brossolette y font leur entrée le 27 mai 2015. La prochaine personne à y entrer devrait être Simone Veil, accompagnée de son époux Antoine Veil.
Le Panthéon est un bâtiment long de 110 m et large de 84 m. La façade principale est décorée d’un portique aux colonnes corinthiennes, surmonté d’un fronton triangulaire réalisé par David d'Angers. Ce fronton représente la Patrie (au centre) donnant la Liberté et protégeant à sa gauche les Sciences – représentées par de nombreux grands savants (François-Xavier Bichat, Berthollet, Gaspard Monge, Laplace…), philosophes (Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau…), écrivains (Fénelon, Pierre Corneille…) et artistes (Jacques-Louis David…) – et à sa droite l'Histoire – représentée par les grands personnages de l'État (Napoléon Bonaparte…) et étudiants de l'École polytechnique.
L'édifice, en forme de croix grecque, est couronné par un dôme haut de 83 mètres, coiffé d’un lanterneau. L’intérieur est décoré par des peintres académiques comme Puvis de Chavannes, Antoine-Jean Gros, Léon Bonnat ou Cabanel.
Un élément essentiel de la construction reste invisible aux yeux du visiteur. Alors que l'on pourrait penser qu'une seule coupole soutient le lanterneau et la croix à son sommet, en réalité, trois coupoles sont emboîtées les unes dans les autres :
Le dôme extérieur est en pierre recouverte de bandes de plomb, et non pas en charpente,
De l'intérieur, on peut voir une coupole à caissons, ouverte au centre par un oculus (ouverture ronde). Cette coupole basse s'appuie sur la partie basse du tambour, au niveau de la colonnade extérieure, qui contrebute l'ensemble.
Entre ces deux coupoles, extérieure et intérieure, est construite une troisième coupole technique intermédiaire de la forme d'un demi-œuf, qui soutient la lanterne de pierre, laquelle pèse plus de cinq tonnes. C'est sur la face intérieure de cette coupole qu'est peinte L'Apothéose de sainte Geneviève d'Antoine Gros, visible à travers l'oculus de la coupole intérieure.
Cette méthode de circulation de la lumière peut être comparée avec celle qu'ont adoptée les prédécesseurs de Soufflot ; par exemple, le Panthéon de Rome et son oculus central à ciel ouvert, ou la coupole des Invalides de Paris de Hardouin-Mansart. Il existe aussi un dôme triple enveloppe à la cathédrale Saint-Paul de Londres, conçu peu de temps auparavant par l'architecte anglais Christopher Wren, avec cependant un dôme charpenté. Le système de construction peut être examiné sur la maquette réalisée par Rondelet : elle se trouve exposée dans la chapelle annexe-nord du bâtiment.
La crypte couvre toute la surface de l'édifice. En effet, elle est constituée de quatre galeries, chacune sous chacun des bras de la nef. Cependant, elle n'est pas véritablement enterrée comme une cave puisque des fenêtres, en haut de chaque galerie, s'ouvrent sur l'extérieur.
On pénètre dans la crypte par une salle décorée de colonnes doriques (en référence au temple de Neptune à Paestum, que Soufflot avait visité pendant son voyage en Italie). En avançant, on découvre, au centre du bâtiment, la vaste salle voûtée de forme circulaire et la petite pièce centrale, située juste sous le dôme. Les dimensions de la crypte font qu'elle paraît fort vaste. Les 73 hôtes actuels ne sont pas à l'étroit puisque la capacité totale d'accueil est d'environ 300 places. Une des hypothèses émises pour expliquer cela serait que Louis XV voulait en faire un mausolée pour les Bourbons.
Napoleon's tomb, Les Invalides, Paris, France, Europe
Les Invalides, officially known as L'Hôtel national des Invalides (The National Residence of the Invalids), is a complex of buildings in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, France, containing museums and monuments, all relating to the military history of France, as well as a hospital and a retirement home for war veterans, the building's original purpose. The buildings house the Musée de l'Armée, the military museum of the Army of France, the Musée des Plans-Reliefs, and the Musée d'Histoire Contemporaine, as well as the burial site for some of France's war heroes, notably Napoleon Bonaparte. Louis XIV initiated the project by an order dated 24 November 1670, as a home and hospital for aged and unwell soldiers: the name is a shortened form of hôpital des invalides[citation needed]. The architect of Les Invalides was Libéral Bruant. The selected site was in the then suburban plain of Grenelle (plaine de Grenelle). By the time the enlarged project was completed in 1676, the river front measured 196 metres and the complex had fifteen courtyards, the largest being the cour d'honneur (court of honour) for military parades. It was then felt that the veterans required a chapel. Jules Hardouin Mansart assisted the aged Bruant, and the chapel was finished in 1679 to Bruant's designs after the elder architect's death. The chapel is known as Église Saint-Louis des Invalides. Daily attendance was required. Shortly after the veterans' chapel was completed, Louis XIV commissioned Mansart to construct a separate private royal chapel referred to as the Église du Dôme from its most striking feature (see gallery). Inspired by St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, the original for all Baroque domes, it is one of the triumphs of French Baroque architecture. Mansart raised its drum with an attic storey over its main cornice, and employed the paired columns motif in his more complicated rhythmic theme. The general programme is sculptural but tightly integrated, rich but balanced, consistently carried through, capping its vertical thrust firmly with a ribbed and hemispherical dome. The domed chapel is centrally placed to dominate the court of honour. It was finished in 1708. The interior of the dome (see gallery) was painted by Le Brun's disciple Charles de La Fosse with a Baroque illusion of space (sotto in su) seen from below. The painting was completed in 1705. Because of its location and significance, the Invalides served as the scene for several key events in French history. On 14 July 1789 it was stormed by Parisian rioters who seized the cannons and muskets stored in its cellars to use against the Bastille later the same day. Napoleon was entombed under the dome of the Invalides with great ceremony in 1840. In December 1894 the degradation of Captain Alfred Dreyfus was held before the main building, while his subsequent rehabilitation ceremony took place in a courtyard of the complex in 1906. The building retained its primary function of a retirement home and hospital for military veterans (invalides) until the early twentieth century. In 1872 the musée d'artillerie (Artillery Museum) was located within the building to be joined by the musée historique des armées (Historical Museum of the Armies) in 1896. The two institutions were merged to form the present musée de l'armée in 1905. At the same time the veterans in residence were dispersed to smaller centres outside Paris. The reason was that the adoption of a mainly conscript army, after 1872, meant a substantial reduction in the numbers of veterans having the twenty or more years of military service formerly required to enter the Hôpital des Invalides. The building accordingly became too large for its original purpose. The modern complex does however still include the facilities detailed below for about a hundred elderly or incapacitated former soldiers.
The most notable tomb at Les Invalides is that of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769--1821). Napoleon was initially interred on Saint Helena, but King Louis-Philippe arranged for his remains to be brought to France in 1840, an event known as le retour des cendres. Napoléon's remains were first buried in the Chapelle Saint-Jérôme in the Invalides until his final resting place, a tomb made of red quartzite and resting on a green granite base, was finished in 1861.

Paris, France - Video Tour of Saint-Germain-des-Prés (Part 1)
Welcome for this new video tour of a great neighborhood of Paris by New York Habitat ( ). Today we are going to visit another lively part of Paris in this video tour: Saint-Germain-des-Prés!
This will be the first episode of a three-part series dedicated to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, so be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel ( )or check back on our blog ( ).
The Saint-Germain-des-Prés area stretches just south of the Seine and east of the Latin Quarter, and was once a large monastery and a tiny market town. Its name in French means Saint Germain in the meadows, and that was exactly where it was located: outside the walls of the city.
The monastery was founded in 532 by Childebert, the second king of France. It became rich and powerful, but did not survive the Viking raids of the 9th century. The monks then camped in the ruins until 990, when the monastery was rebuilt by King Robert the Pious.
The town between it and the city was a very lively place. Eventually theaters started popping up. By the 17th century, the town boasted the composer Lully's first opera house, Moliere's first theatre and the first Comédie Française. It eventually became a well-known literary and artistic center.
With construction starting in approximately 1000 A.D., the Eglise Saint-Germain-des-Prés is the oldest existing church in Paris. Most of it is Romanesque. The rounded arches, small windows and heavy walls of the bell tower are typical of the Romanesque style.
The area soon became a center for artists, intellectuals and writers. Already in the 17th century, the village was home to writers like Racine and La Rochefoucault. In the 19th century painters like Delacroix and Manet, and writers like Balzac settled here. Benjamin Franklin and Oscar Wilde lived near the square, as well. In the 1920s, many Americans were attracted by the charm of the neighborhood. Hemingway and his wife lived here, and Henry Miller often found himself in the district. Later, Picasso moved here and this is where he painted Guernica.
Life here still centers on the square in front of the church and on 3 famous cafés nearby. The square is a popular meeting place, often featuring musicians and sculpture displays.
Les Deux Magots, located at 6 place de l'Eglise Saint-Germain-des-Prés, is named for 2 Chinese figures on the wall inside, left over from when the café was a silk merchant's shop. When it opened, the café was a favorite of the poets Verlaine and Rimbaud. In the 1930s, Picasso liked to come here. In the late 30s, the café was frequented by the existentialist philosopher Jean Paul Sartre and the writers Camus and Prévert.
When the café became a favorite of the Germans occupying Paris, Sartre and his colleagues abandoned it for Café de Flore on the next block, at 172 Boulevard Saint-Germain. The owner gave them the upstairs to sit, drink coffee and write. Sartre wrote his famous treatise Being and Nothingness in this location.
The other famous drinking place is the Brasserie Lipp, across the street at 151 Boulevard Saint-Germain. It was favored by the poets André Gide and Paul Valéry in the 1920s and it was here that Hemingway wrote A Farewell to Arms.
The Institut de France, at 23 quai Conti, with its distinctive dome was built in the 17th century for Louis XIV's Prime Minister, Mazarin. It is now the French Institute, the headquarters of the five French academies of arts and sciences. The most famous academy is the Académie Française, whose jurisdiction is the French language.
Of course, the best way to live like a local is to rent a furnished apartment in the heart of this famous neighborhood, such as this furnished studio in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés ( ).
Remember that New York Habitat offers many other great furnished apartment rentals in Saint-Germain-des-Prés and all over Paris ( ), including furnished apartments ( ) and vacation rentals ( ).
We hope you have enjoyed the Saint-Germain area, a neighborhood where history and culture meet.
Thank you for watching this video tour by New York Habitat. We hope to see you soon, sipping coffee like a local, in the heart of St-Germain-des-Prés.
