These tickets literally saved us! The line for the entrance was HUGE, but luckily, we had these tickets and just passed by all that crowd. We went through a security check without the hassle and started exploring. My favorite part was the tomb of Napoleon and the French Army Museum. Definitely worth visiting!

DESCRIPTION

Les Invalides Ticket

Discover the famous Hôtel National des Invalides, which is today known as the home of the Musee de l’Armee. Walk through the centuries-old history and explore the museum’s permanent collections at your own pace. Discover more than 500 000 pieces from the Middle Ages to the 21st century. With this skip-the-line ticket, you will gain priority access to all the areas of this incredible complex.

Admire the well-known gilded Dome – the resting place of Napoleon since 1861. Stroll through the armor and weapons of the French kings and discover unique collections. You will have an opportunity to see the photographs, uniforms, paintings, and personal belongings of France’s major figures, including Francis I and Louis XIV.

Experience some of the nation’s most pivotal battles from the World Wars inside the interactive multimedia space named after Charles de Gaulle. Also, don’t miss the opportunity to check out the Special Forces exposition temporary exhibit, which celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Special Ops Command.

Les Invalides is part of Louis XIV’s legacy, and it's worth knowing that it was built during the same period as the Palace of Versailles. While Versailles represents royal grandeur and absolute power, Les Invalides reflects the military strength that supported it. Keep that in mind as you explore the museum, and consider visiting Versailles the next day to complete the picture. You can join a Palace of Versailles tour for deeper context or explore on your own, or book your Versailles Palace ticket in advance for hassle-free entry and plenty of time to experience both sides of the story.
