		On 15 December 1840 a state funeral was held, and despite a winter snowstorm, the hearse proceeded from the Arc de Triomphe down the Champs-Elysées, across the Place de la Concorde to the Esplanade and finally to the cupola in St Jerome's Chapel until the tomb - designed by Visconti - was completed.

		A vast complex, now encompassing four museums and two churches, Les Invalides was established as a lodging and hospital for wound military veterans in 1670; it once accommodated 7,000 soldiers.
		Les Invalides is surmounted by the soaring gilt cupola of the Dôme Church, and as a building rivals the Louvre in terms of sheer size and Gallic self-assurance; it's also the foremost 17th-century landmark in Paris.
		As a collection of sarcophagi, Les Invalides has few equals, and the entire building is an oddly riveting monument to grandiloquence.
