Invalides: Aura Immersive Experience Entry Ticket

WOW! Für mich neben dem Besuch der Oper Garniers DAS Erlebnis beim meinem Paris Trip. Tolle Lichtshow welche perfekt auf die Proportionen des Gebäudes abgestimmt war. Spitzenmäßige musikalische Untermalung mit sakralen Klängen und alles in unglaublich Geschichtsträchtiger Atmosphäre. Ich wäre am liebsten bei der nach uns folgenden Vorstellung gleich noch mal mit rein. 

WOW! For me, besides the visit to the Garnier Opera, THE experience on my Paris trip. Great light show which was perfectly matched to the proportions of the building. Excellent background music with sacred sounds and everything in an incredibly historic atmosphere. I would have loved to go back for the performance that followed us.

Amazing combination of information, music and visuals. It was truly an immersive experience into the history of the Dom and I never thought I would get so blown away by this place.

Wonderful event.  The sound and light show under the dome was magical and a different way to experience space.  Architecturally and historically beautiful.  Very pleased I was able to experience it.  

L'ampleur de l'expérience sur le plan visuel et auditif, c'est techniquement et artistiquement une prouesse. Très bonne organisation également et un accueil des plus aimables....vous avez dit, Paris? Lol

The sheer scale of the experience, both visually and aurally, is a technical and artistic feat. Very well organized too, and a most gracious welcome....you said, Paris? Lol

Le son & lumière dans le dôme des Invalides est sympa! Bien rythmé. Le personnel est vraiment sympa! Cela m'a donné envie de visiter en vrai, les Invalides...

The sound & light show in the dome of the Invalides is great! Well-paced. The staff are really nice! It made me want to visit the Invalides for real...

Combo (Save 5%): Invalides Napoleon's Tomb & Army Museum + Rodin Museum Skip-the-Line Tickets

The museum and grounds are absolutely beautiful and this is an extensive collection of Rodin's incredible work with surprises as well. Be forewarned, there's no AC and it gets stuffy so dress appropriately, but do not leave this off your itenerary while in Paris. 

It's been all chopped up and there is not clear signage to let you know if you are headed in the right direction. We had to stop and ask multiple times. Also missed the large room with all of the halberts. Disappointed, as it was a big reason for our visit. 

The restrooms adjacent to the museum store were not handicap accessible. The elevator could not be called from the lower level where the restrooms were located. In addition, there was no soap or paper towels in the women's restroom.

That put a damper on seeing the wonderful exhibits and Napolean's tomb.

I did not expect how amazing it is! The hidden gem! Must visit! Plan at least an hour for a quick visit or at least 2 hours to see all the exhibitions in detail. 

Hotel des Invalides and army museum were visited. Buying tickets online athead of time was convenient and reasonable.  Would suggest at least 2-3 hours to visit the whole complex. Longer if you are a history / war history enthusiast.
There was a wedding going on in the center plaza which was actually one of the highlights to watch.

With this cost-saving combo, get skip-the-line access to the Army Museum and go on a guided tour around the region of Normandy.

Get up close to see uniforms worn by Napoleon Bonaparte himself, including his iconic bicorne hat and military coats at the Dôme des Invalides.

See the heroes of the Legion of Honor of France at The Museum of the Order of the Liberation and marvel at 500,000 artifacts at the Army Museum.

In a small group of 25 or fewer, tour the Colleville-sur-Mer Military Cemetery, a poignant reminder of the war's toll and its impact on the war. 

Learn about the history of WW2 from your English-speaking guide, and enjoy cider tasting and a French lunch at a local farm.

Skip-the-line entry to the Invalides and Musée de l'armée
