Combo (Save 5%): Napoleon's Tomb & Musée de l'Armée Skip-the-Line Tickets + WWII: Normandy U.S. D-Day Beaches Full Day Trip with Lunch from Paris

Visiting Les Invalides with my son was one of the best things we did in Paris this autumn. We went on a Sunday at the end of October, and the Headout app made the whole thing super easy. I actually bought my ticket right outside the entrance, and it took about two minutes. Then I just showed the QR code on my phone and walked straight in. It worked out fine for us, but I'd still recommend booking in advance, especially on weekends or in high season, just in case tickets for your time slot run out. One thing worth knowing if you're travelling with a student: my son is under 26 with an EU passport, so his entry was free, but you can't get that ticket in the app. He had to go to the ticket office with his ID, so don't expect to walk in together. Also, if your kid isn't from the EU, just buy them a regular ticket with yours. Inside, Napoleon's tomb is the big moment. You look down at the huge red sarcophagus from the balcony, then go down and stand right next to it, and it's surprisingly quiet and calm. But honestly, don't make the mistake of seeing only the tomb and leaving! The Army Museum is huge. The knights' armour (horses included!) was a favourite for both of us, and the World Wars wing was the part that stayed with us the most. Give yourself at least 2–3 hours and wear comfy shoes, because there's a lot of walking on stone floors and stairs. Quick tip: from November it closes at 17:00, so go early, and most labels are in French, so the audio guide is worth it. Overall, it was a day well spent, and something both generations enjoyed.

The museum was informative and well put together, although many displays were only in French, making them difficult to understand. Napoleon’s tomb and the impressive building were absolutely amazing to see in person. The only downside was the noticeable dust throughout the building, especially on the pillars and displays. Overall, a fascinating historical experience well worth visiting.

Дуже велика колекція зброї та речей, які пов'язані із військовими справами французької армії. Я вперше побачив як реально виглядали мушкети та фузеї, пістолі та холодна зброя тих часів. Чесно кажучи, уявляв їх собі, як дещо архаїчне та примітивне. Виявилося, що це досить технологічні та досконалі речі. Рекомендую усім до простору експозиції музею!

Excellent visite, ont a exploré l'histoire ancienne de la France avec la guide inclus avec les tickets. Très utile. Les informations dans la guide nous ont aidé à mieux comprendre l'époque et la réalité du peuple français. Recommande pour les enfants aussi. Top Je recommande avec plaisir

Lieu de rendez vous bien expliqué, facilité d'accès au monuments, billet dématérialisés très pratique, site remarquable avec de nombreuses salles à visiter et la coupole avec le tombeau de Napoléon : exeptionnelle!!

Pour les férus d'histoire ou les simples visiteurs, cette visite est pleine d'émotions. Allez-y vous ne serez pas déçus. Prévoyez au moins 3 heures. Le temps passe très vite. Accueil de qualité.
