An inspiring and dramatic sound and light show suitable for the entire family! Entrance is at 2 Place Vauban. Very easy to find.

Overview

See the Dôme des Invalides after the daytime crowds clear with this evening light show experience in Paris. Orchestral music, video, and light play across the monument's gilded interior, with projections highlighting architectural details easy to miss by day. Offered only after dark, with several entry times through the evening, the show casts one of Paris's grandest landmarks in a wholly different light.

  • See Napoleon's resting place without the usual daytime crowds
  • Combine art, music, and history in one accessible outing
  • Reach the centrally located venue easily via the metro or bus

A very pleasant surprise!

Marcus_P, Jun 2026
I was concerned it would be kind of cheesy after reading some previous negative reviews, but boy what a surprise! This experience ended up being our group's favorite activity. OUTSTANDING experience!

Don’t Miss This!

Marilee_B, May 2026
Phenomenal Experience! Don’t miss it! We loved it! We wanted to go back again our last night but they were sold out. Hint: Get in line early if you want to sit on a bench. Most people sat on the steps to watch. Try to sit on either side. One of the best experiences of our trip.

A peaceful and lovely experience in a spectacular structure!

Suzanne_H, May 2026
Sitting on stone steps or standing could be a challenge but the show is short. Lovely and meaningful experience

Les Invalides light show

fantastic experiencece

FlintPolo_F, Jan 2026
I was very impressed with the light show. Beautiful monument. It was very interesting to learn about Napoleon and the people who were important to him.

Great experience!

Kimberly_L, Nov 2025
Music and light show inside the Invaildes Dome. Amazing experience and views. Not sure I’d recommend for little kids.

Heaven on Invalides!

Aubrey_D, Oct 2025
It was a spectacular experience! A one of a kind and never seen before activity or tour. It was magical! The lights and the music were in sync as if it was made in heaven! It was like watching a live movie! It was well thought of and was an amazing sight!

Great light show

Barbara_U, Oct 2025
Good experience. Great way to see the dome des invalides. Light show and music was really entertaining

Don't waist your money

Suzie_W, Sep 2025
Don't waist your money on this over-hyped 'show'. It's basically lighting that is in sync with dramatic music. It repeats over and over and over with an intermission. If you want to see Napoleon's tomb, go during the day. It'll cost less and you'll also get to visit an amazing museum.

The building comes alive

Laurence_D, Aug 2025
Really cool light show. The building really comes alive. Love how the lights outline and bring out parts of the building you might not notice normally. Love how the city passes through the building. Good story and music. Just alittle short program and you have to stand. Not a bad way to see Invalides.

Exceptional!

Mandy_W, Jul 2025
A very captivating and informative experience. Definitely recommend, a highlight of our trip to Paris.

Beautiful light and sound...

Matilde_S, Jul 2025
Beautiful light and sound show, but lacking of any informative content being in such an important historical and patriotic place. Even people around us did not know who was buried at the central tomb. The company can do better informing people of different ages from around the world about French history and Napoleon.

Definitely don't miss this!

NakiPete, Jul 2025
An outstanding experience and highly recommend for anyone wanting to see a completely different show while in Paris. What a treat!

The show of lights

laurence_s, Feb 2024
Beautiful lights in an iconic monument, 45 m of magical moment … You don’t feel to be in a crowded place .

One of the best immersive art experiences out there

Petronela_C, Jan 2024
Gorgeous combination of immersive art, dramatic music and spectacular architecture - probably one of the best immersive art experiences there are in the world RN.

You need to book!

Diana_R, Jul 2025
Spectacular! A wonderful show in mapping that highlights and takes the architectural beauty of the place to another level; it also thrillingly recounts the history of battles and the fallen. Recommended!

Light spectacle Paris

Doris_Z, May 2025
It was very impressive and atmospheric. The show is really worth seeing and you get goosebumps, as the light and music fit perfectly into the ambience of the invalid cathedral. Just take a look - it's worth it.

Geschichte mal anders Erzählt

Simone_D, Jul 2024
Tolle Idee die Geschichte des Gebäudes zu erzählen! Beeindruckende akustische und optische Veranstaltung

Merci

Herv_A, Mar 2024
Je n'ai pas vu ce spectacle, Je l'ai offert à ma fille, ses enfants et son mari Ils ont apprécié, Merci

Déçu ! sans rapport avec le thème Dommage car de beaux effets visuels

Alain_E, Jan 2024
Une trés bonne, idée mais déçu par la scénographie: musique peu adaptée, découpage des scènes sans grand rapport, on à l'impression que des effet sonores et lumineux ont été plaqué sans grand rapport avec le lieu et le sujet. Le comble : le passage avec la Tour-Eiffel ! Que venez-t'elle faire là ? Spectaculaire mais sans rapport.
