Extremely big museum worth seeing if you're into history - with elements for kids as well! The ticketing was easy, although if you are eligible for a free ticket you need to get it at the counter first since they need to check your ID. Otherwise it was great, the cruise was also a very cool experience with great sights + the departure was every 30 mins for us so we could plan it really well - overall definitely worth booking!

The museum is extraordinary, very well decorated with interactive videos that tell real stories. You should take the time to go through it in detail as it takes a while to do so. Then you enter the crypt where the remains of Napoleon Bonaparte rest. Everything is magnificent to visit. It is well worth it.

The AURA Immersive Experience at Les Invalides is an absolute must-see in Paris. It’s not just a light show — it’s a breathtaking journey through art, history, and emotion. The moment you step into the majestic Dôme des Invalides, you’re surrounded by music, light, and color that bring the monument to life in a completely new way.
The experience unfolds in several movements, each more captivating than the last. The combination of orchestral sound, video projections, and the stunning architecture creates a sense of awe and serenity that’s hard to describe. You don’t just watch the show — you feel it. The lighting reveals every intricate detail of the dome and transforms the historic space into something almost celestial.
What I loved most was how the experience respects the monument’s heritage while using cutting-edge technology to elevate it. It’s elegant, immersive, and deeply moving — a perfect blend of innovation and reverence. Whether you’re a history lover, an art enthusiast, or just looking for something unique to do in Paris at night, AURA Invalides is unforgettable.
