You're standing at the Hôtel des Invalides, in the seventh arrondissement of Paris. First, look up at that golden dome. Measured to the tip of its lantern, it's a hundred and seven metres tall. That makes it the tallest church building in Paris, taller even than Notre-Dame. In 1989 the dome was regilded, and that took twelve kilos of gold.
