This week, we take you behind the scenes of one of Paris' most famous monuments: the Hotel des Invalides. Built a stone's-throw away from the river Seine, this military hospital, necropolis and museum were long associated to the Monarch who commissioned the edifice: King Louis the 14th, of Versailles fame. But after the revolution, the Invalides became synonymous with another French leader: Napoleon Bonaparte

Wow, France of old really treated their veterans well. This must’ve been an extreme privilege to live in such a grand place having come from poor farmer families as most common soldiers were.
Cannot recommend visiting this place enough. If you like history, especially french military history then do make the trip. I’ve been several times and it’s always been a pleasure.
"That night at the Hôtel des Invalides 71 year old Marshall Sérusier oversaw the burning of over 14,000 flags and standards captured from France's enemies so they would not fall into allied hands " - 1814
Including Frederick the greats sword and slash
@@derpynerdy6294 that was a damn shame
Epic history tv??
We should take care of war veterans as well today as during Louis XIV's reign.
As an American, I wish we treat our Veterans like this.
We do… and they only had this in Paris, not throughout the country

Brilliant
She is GORGEOUS!
I like the background music.
Mee too where is it from? I know it from somewhere hmm
@@morten1975dk it's from tchaikovsky, 1812 overture
What's the background music? I know it from somewhere !!
1812 ouverture Tchaïkovski
Napoleon was first sent to the island of Elba in the Mediterranean, but he organized his army again and went on to be defeated at Waterloo. He was then exiled to the UK island in the South Atlantic, isolated from the rest of the World by the name of Saint Helena until he died. The announcer in this video mispronounces the island, like so many others producing documentaries. The Saints, as they ar known on the island of St.. Helena, pronounce their Homeland 'Santa LENA', and not Saint HELL en a.
In french santa is saint so "Saint Hell ena" Perfect for us. Thank you.
@@gringologie9302 I guess it's one of those cases where someone can pronounce their name any way they wish, and the saints on the island, ( as they are called ), who are the locals do not pronounce it, Saint HELL, ena.
@@williamfulgham2010 how do you pronounce Paris ? I'm sure you'll understand !
@@Impl0ze93 I would guess that the pure French pronunciation would be more like, Paree, right?
@@williamfulgham2010 Exactly yet any anglophone would pronounce the s. And no one would expect the whole world to pronounce it the French way. It's even more true with geography/history like Joan of Arc which we call Jeanne d'Arc.
*I'm still wondering, why is there no photos of the tomb opened*
Cause the last time it was opened was in 1840. Haha.
One of the dumbest questions I’ve ever read on YT ...
Captain Cesar seems extremely nice. Hope he's doing real well now 4 years after the report was made.
This video has the only footage I can find of the altar at 1:00. It is highly occult just like everything else in the building. Layers on layers of it but I would love to see the symbolism on the alter up close.
Altar ? What « altar ». It’s a funeral monument. Known as « Le manteau de porphyre ».nothing to do with an ‘altar’.
@@a.f.4248 Thanks.
They need to take better care of that paper @1:30, why tf is he handling it like that. AHHHHHHHHHHH
Don't makes churches and cathedrals as tourist place 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I don't know about so I can't comant
01:00 is that illuminati symbol ?
No, the freemason eyed-triangle have only three rays downwards. That is an eyed-triangle full of resplendor, flushing from the centre, which is a symbol of the Divine Providence
It’s like as if you are honouring this brute!!
go learn history, european coalitions attacked France and Napoleon, not the reverse
But didn’t he impale people??
@@gobrad Wtf
@@gobrad not him. His lieutenant during egypt campaign, yes. But for his defence, he's act in conformity with the egyptian penal code for punish murderer.
@@gobrad That was the Mameluk tradition there. THey did it for the murderer of the French Hero, the General Kleber.
