Musée de l'Armée - Les Invalides & Napoleon's Tomb: Entry Ticket
Mobile Only
Yes
Entry covers the Army Museum and Napoleon's tomb within the Invalides complex. The collection traces French military history from the medieval period to the Second World War. Napoleon lies in a red sarcophagus beneath the gilded Dome des Invalides. Louis XIV founded the site as a hospital for wounded soldiers.
- The Hotel des Invalides was built under Louis XIV in the 1670s for army veterans.
- The Dome church holds Napoleon's tomb beneath one of the city's tallest gilded domes.
- History-minded reviewers rate the medieval armour and the two world-war galleries.
Tips
- The complex is large; prioritise the Dome and one or two galleries on a short visit.
- The golden dome is a landmark from across the river; allow time for the exterior.
- Comfortable shoes help, as the buildings and courtyards cover long distances.
- Opening varies by season and some galleries close on set days; check ahead.
- The ticket suits a combined visit with the nearby Rodin museum.
- Quieter mornings avoid the midday tour-group flow.
