History

A land that was virtually uninhabited for centuries because of the difficulty of cultivating it, part of today’s Grenelle district was attached to the Invalides section of the 10th arrondissement of the capital when the first twelve arrondissements of Paris were created in 1795. It was then renamed the Invalides district in 1811.
