You say "horns" in French as "cornes."
French horns do have valves, but not the same kind trumpets use. Trumpets use pistons, and french horns use Rotary Valves. However, a marching french horn, a melophone, does have piston valves.
French Horns are good because they teach you music and play ALL kinds of notes.
It is difficult to say where shoe horns were invented, since they've been around for a very long time. Shoe horns are available for purchase on eBay or Amazon.

Early versions had no valves, and are now known as natural horns. Valves for brass instruments weren't invented until around 1800.
The french horn was not invented, it has been evolving over hundreds of years. It has the same humble origins of all brass instruments up until the hunting horns. The horn went through many evolutions before becoming the modern horn we know today. Alexander horns from germany were one of the first companies to fabricate horns as we know them now. Kruspe is often credited with the invention of the horn as we know it now (he put the bflat and f horns together).
