History Edit

Since creation, the Hôtel des Invalides (French: Hôtel des Invalides) was directed by Governors until 1792. A General Administration Council (French: Conseil Général d'Administration) ensured the direction of the institute from 1793 to 1796. Since then, the latter's directorate was exercised successively by Commandants, from 1796 to 1803, Governors from 1803 to 1871, then Commandants from 1871 to 1941, and again by Governors since that date.

Attributions Edit

The function is assured by a général officer nominated for a period of five years by the President of France based on the proposition of the Council of Ministers (French: Conseil des Ministers). These attributions are fixed by a decree of February 25, 1961, modified by another decree of May 6, 1991.

The Governors of Les Invalides is member by rights of Law[3] (French: Membre de Droit) to the administration council of the national Institute of Les Invalides, at the title of the representatives of the State, with the title of Vice-President. « Designated to represent the President of the Republic, titular protector of the Institution, near by the retired veterans and military wounded, hospitalized at the Invalides, he exhausts all his influence so that the concerned veterans, in all sort of, and under any circumstances, are attested for their service and have the recognition of the Nation. ».[4]

He authorizes all the diverse manifestations and official ceremonies that take lieu at the corps of the Hôtel des Invalides (French: Hôtel des Invalides), out of which notably the Cathedral Saint-Louis of Les Invalides (French: Cathédrale Saint-Louis des Invalides). He resides in the Hôtel des Invalides, along with his secretariat. If he dies in office while in official function (French: mort en function) tenure, he could be buried in the Governors Vaults.
