Cloister of Val-de-Grâce, Classical abbey in 5th arrondissement, Paris, France.
The Cloister of Val-de-Grâce displays classical architecture with intricate stone work and symmetrical design elements throughout its structure.
Queen Anne of Austria ordered the construction of Val-de-Grâce in 1645, with her son Louis XIV laying the cornerstone at age seven.
The buildings now contain a military medical museum that demonstrates the evolution of French army healthcare through centuries of practice.
Tours of the museum and church require official escort due to the military nature of the facility, and photography permissions are limited.
During the French Revolution, Benedictine nuns saved the church from destruction by treating injured revolutionaries within its walls.
