 This chapel was known as Église Saint-Louis des Invalides, and daily attendance of the veterans in the church services 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 below).The domed chapel was finished in 1793

Because of its location and significance, the Invalides served as the scene for several key events in French history.
