Usually the Hôtel des Invalides, built to care for veterans of war, is associated with the name of Napoleon, who is buried there. But the Hôtel des Invalides was built by the will of King Louis XIV.

This model of the Hôtel des Invalides is precisely the one that lay before the eyes of the Sun King.

Napoleon entered the story a hundred and fifty years later. But with such assurance that Louis is scarcely remembered at all.
