The most notable tomb at Les Invalides is that of [[Napoleon|Napoleon Bonaparte]] (1769–1821), designed by [[Louis Visconti]] with sculptures by [[James Pradier]], [[Pierre-Charles Simart]] and [[Francisque Joseph Duret]]. Napoleon was initially interred on [[Saint Helena]], but King [[Louis Philippe I|Louis Philippe]] arranged for his remains to be brought to France in 1840, an event known as [[Retour des cendres|''le retour des cendres'']]. Napoleon's remains were kept in the Saint Jerome (southwestern) chapel of the Dome church for more than two decades until his final resting place, a tomb made of [[Quartzite|red quartzite]] and resting on a [[Granite|green granite]] base, was finished in 1861.

Other military figures and members of Napoleon's family were also buried at the Dome church by year of burial there:<ref name=Musee/>
