Awesome evening, can hardly explain it. Really highly recommended. Only confusing thing is that in the confirmation email it says you have to exchange your tickets somewhere but this turned out not to be necessary, they could scan the qr codes on the spot without exchange.

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.

Enthralling evening at Dôme des Invalides

As the sun dips below the Paris skyline, prepare for an exclusive nighttime entry to the iconic Dôme des Invalides, an architectural masterpiece of French history. Start with a stroll through the monument's illustrious hallways, reflecting the glow of the setting sun, before being ushered into the heart of the monument for the much-awaited Aura Invalides show. This 50-minute spectacle is an ingenious blend of orchestral music and video mapping, creating a mesmerizing display of lights, sound systems, and special effects that breathe new life into the Dôme's heritage.

Journey through time and architecture

The Aura Invalides show is more than just a light show; it is a journey through time and the architectural splendor of Dôme des Invalides. As the show unfolds, you'll be drawn into a series of stunning tableaux, each highlighting different aspects of the Dôme's architecture, from Napoleon I's tomb to the decorative painting on the soaring 90m vaulted ceiling. The monument, rightly considered part of Paris's DNA, is revealed under a fresh light, its golden dome magnifying the immersive show's thrilling energy. This immersive, collective experience, exclusively revealed after sunset, offers a fresh perspective on the unmissable Dôme des Invalides, making it an extraordinary experience for history buffs and casual tourists alike.
