The Dôme des Invalides has a history that is strongly related to that of France. It served as a cathedral during Louis XIV's reign, was home to Napoleon I's tomb in the 19th century, and housed Allied pilots during World War II.
The 107-meter (351-foot) gold-gilded baroque dome, perched atop the Hotel des Invalides' Royal Chapel, is a prominent feature of the Paris skyline and serves as a guide to Napoleon's Tomb, one of the city's main attractions. The Dôme des Invalides is situated in the heart of Les Invalides and you can gain access to it with any of the Army Museum tickets. Let’s get to know what you can do when you visit the tomb, and understand each ticket better.
Les Invalides stands as a testament to France’s enduring military legacy. A prominent sight in the Parisian landscape thanks to its famous Dome, the Hôtel National des Invalides is an exceptional army museum. Some say the tomb is a highlight of every trip to Paris and worth visiting even if you only have a few minutes.
The former 'Royal Chapel' is now a mausoleum and it's here Napoleon Bonaparte's remains were interned in 1861. In order to accommodate the tomb, architect Louis Visconti had to redesign the high altar of the domed church.
Upon completion in 1861, the remains of Napoleon’s body were then placed in six coffins inside a tomb, which was fashioned from red Finnish porphyry with a green granite base, and placed inside the crypt.
The mausoleum also contains the tombs of some of Napoleon's family, as well as other French military leaders and war heroes.
Alongside the mausoleum, dedicated to the genius responsible for the Fortifications of Vauban and the exquisitely built tombs of notable figures from French history, are the canopied black-marble altar designed by Visconti and frescoes painted by the painter Charles de La Fosse.
If you have a ticket to Les Invalides, you are free to explore the entire complex including Dôme des Invalides.
You can take up to 1 hour to see the entire Dôme des Invalides.
Yes, the immersive experience takes place at night and a separate ticket would have to be purchased which grants you access only during the experience.
The Dôme des Invalides is open every day from 10am to 6pm. There is a late opening on the 1st Friday of every month from 6pm to 10pm.
It’s not just for decoration! The cannon inside the Dôme marks the military importance of the monument. You’ll find military artifacts scattered around the tomb that give you a glimpse into the history of warfare.
Yes! When the sun goes down, the Dôme des Invalides is illuminated with golden lights, making it look even more majestic.
It was great to see a final resting place for someone so famous & relevant in history. The buildings were spectacular
Incredible place , all the history around , the beautiful construcción. Amazing 🤩
Beautiful place! Definitely coming back
It was a plaisaint experience...I 've been several times in Paris but I never thought to visit The Tomb of Napoleon. Thank you🙏
No queues, well guided by the staff, perfect audio-guide download. Huge museum, I'll be back. The Napoleon dome is a nugget.
It was very easy to quickly book the tickets; it wasn't very crowded at all and the Tomb of Napoleon was a breathtaking sight to see. Visiting this place (even when it was near closing hours) really made our day of my mum and I.
There vere a lot of people there. It was interesting for me and my kids. The guns,the clothes and other equipments people used at that moment. So we even took family photo there
For the Army/Napoleon Museum, under-18s don't have to pay, but they do need a ticket. We had to queue to get a free ticket even though we had our paid tickets on the app. For the cruise, but only once! Almost 600 people in the boat. Luckily we were able to get up and stand alongside the boat so we could enjoy it more.
Fabulous museum with a lot of military history including French military history during the two world wars. The building was worth seeing as well as Napoleon's tomb. Buying tickets from Headout allowed us to skip the very long line of people wanting to buy entrance tickets.
This display was very comprehensive and informative. The mix of media, from objects to written explanations to video. Very well done. Better than we expected
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.
French history is very important to me, and past wars and the reasons for them are well explained throughout the exhibition.
Very good experience, the ticket accepted on any entrance of the museum departmens. But (not sure) internet should be active.
We loved Napoleon's tomb, church, the surrounds. Just the grandeur of it all. Awesome truly. Merci beaucoup. But the signage when you come out of the subway says to go left. You should go right. Probably not your responsibility but frustrating especially in this heat. Thank you.
It was a great exhibition. We went a bit late, so we didn't get to see everything. The audio guide was complex, because it wasn't coordinated with anything we were seeing.
The audio guide was perfect. The sites are magical and I wanted to share them with my son, especially the tomb and the Napoleon crypt. The only downside, and it was explained to me at the reception desk, was the price of the ticket I bought remotely: excessive and disproportionate.
The museum is well planned and laid out. Very informative about France's history. Loved the information about the French resistance during Workd War Ii. Napoleon tomb building is fantastic.
Tutto molto interessante. Peccato solo che i biglietti per i vambini, anche se gratuiti, non si possano fare direttamente da app.
The best part was seeing the Done Church and Napoleon's tomb. We didn't realise you didn't have to book the Army museum to see this church. The army museum was ok but we found it a bit boring not being part of our history.
We had to show out tickets multiple times during the visit. I found it difficult to keep having to find the actual ticket amongst the many confirmation notices I received. Otherwise the visit and services were fine.
This experience is perfect to get tickets easily through the web, it includes the visit to all the exhibitions and it is worth visiting this complex.
An incredible place! The crypt is also a must-see.
A fabulous museum. My kids loved it so much

It was a great tour 🧿🧿🧿 nice scenery with important points on the route.
Easy admission and comfortable ride
Tour itself was great experience and guide inside the cruise was very kind. However the team outside the cruise guiding the lines are not friendly and they are not paying attention on how to manage the lines instead they were busy chatting among themselves . The following is what happened and made our group experience bitter. The day we went it was very hot and very long line. We are group of 8 with 4 kids ranging from 17-3 years old. As one can understand we were standing in the line for more than 50 mins and it was a hot day. Kids obviously don't want to stand in the line so they were sitting in shade. By the time our time has come to enter the cruise, we couldn't locate our kids because they went for a rest room break and buying snack in th same complex. As it was very crowded in all directions and poor phone signal and that too we are from outside country so little we can do to locate them on time when we had to enter , all this time we were standing in the line except kids. To respect others time, we didn't hold the line rather asked the people behind us to move forward. The problem here is since the cruise guiding team was not paying attention or not present, the moment we found our kids we were trying to enter and the cruise team suddenly showed up and said we cannot cut the line and we have to start again by standing in the line for an hour(kidding me) then we had to explain and they were pushing us by touching us etc. we didn't want to give up coz we were genuinely standing in the line . After few back and forth conversation we were allowed but if they would have paid attention all this hassle could have been avoided. Simply they didn't do their job and made our exp bitter. Company should seriously look at these staffs and train them to do their job properlyy

Lovely way to see the main sights whilst enjoying the motion of the boat and the ambience of the river way. We stood at the bottom deck but out on one side and at the very front railing so had a great time. Not enough seats up on the roof though.
What I enjoyed the most was the views and the boat. It's the second time I did the experience with bateaux parisiens this year. Good.
This was one of the highlights of our trip. The views were beautiful, the boat was clean and safe, and it was not overcrowded. Both children and adults in our group had a lovely time. We could have stayed on much longer.
Choosing the right seat is very important, and sitting on the left-hand side is rather interesting. A little Marseillaise on the way.
French history is very important to me, and past wars and the reasons for them are well explained throughout the exhibition.
We still enjoyed it but the boat was crowded and the guide spoke very fast as he had 3 languages to speak. Reign it back and appreciate your tourists rather than trying to mass tourist instead.
Everything went very well. The trip was great, we saw the main attractions in Paris and the guide told us about the history of each place. Buying the tickets was also super easy. Definitely an experience to repeat.
The museum is well planned and laid out. Very informative about France's history. Loved the information about the French resistance during Workd War Ii. Napoleon tomb building is fantastic.
Nice from seine good picture and also in short time perception of the environment. And new images that you normally can not see

The museum and gardens are beautiful. It is, however, very hot inside and also, interested visitors should do well to read up on Rodin and his works beforehand.
The exhibition is great, the museum enhances it even more, and the gardens complete a unique experience in Paris.
My wife has always wanted to visit the Musee Rodin and see his art and that of Camille Claudel in person. We enjoyed a great experience!
I had already visited the museum in 1992. I remembered it vaguely, very endearing, I remember that the "Pere Tanguy" was hanging on a wall of the staircase. Now with the remodeling works and the acquisition of new sculptures acquisition of new sculptures, it has become wonderfully beautiful. A must for lovers of sculpture and especially those of Rodin. Ah, impressive the amount of pieces that can be seen, both inside and in the garden. You can not miss it!
The Rodin Museum was wonderful, not only for the magnificent art but also the fact that it was not so crowded. You could really enjoy the exhibits. The gardens were peaceful and the café was a perfect spot to sit and savor the beauty.
It was great to see a final resting place for someone so famous & relevant in history. The buildings were spectacular
Learning about the door of Rodin's work and legacy

I love this museum, have been coming there for years. Not too big, beautiful garden and collection. Also nice museum shop

Obtaining a scanable ticket left a stain on the actual enjoyment of the museum and grounds. We had an email. The button was not clickable. I had to get the museum wifi to get to the headout website to find the non obvious location of the help chat area. That person was helpful using my booking number
French history is very important to me, and past wars and the reasons for them are well explained throughout the exhibition.
The curation of Rodin's artistic evolution indoors combined with his sculptures in landscape outdoors made for so much more than a museum visit. A great experience!
Very good experience, the ticket accepted on any entrance of the museum departmens. But (not sure) internet should be active.
There were no queues or crowds between 12:00 and 15:00. The impressive sculptures could be viewed in detail in the extensive, beautiful sculpture garden with shady areas and a restaurant. The works of Camille Claudel should be highlighted much more clearly for me.
The exhibition of works by Rodin and Camille Claudel really moved us. All that strength in movement! And as a little bonus, our meal at the café in the garden...very good!
The museum is well planned and laid out. Very informative about France's history. Loved the information about the French resistance during Workd War Ii. Napoleon tomb building is fantastic.
