Aura is a wonderful experience and a fantastic plan for the whole family. Absolutely worth it — we highly recommend it.
Gail_S, Aug 2026
The show was amazing. The directions to the meeting place were terrible. It said to go to 129 rue de grenelle and when we got there we were directed to go all the way around the building. Very confusing and an additional long walk which was not appreciated.

This was an amazing evening however, there are two things that you should know when you visit. First, there is no seating except on hard marble stairs, so be prepared for that. Second, there are no restrooms so be prepared. Other than that, we had an amazing time and it was well worth our time to visit. It was also a little educational too because it gave a little history of the dome and Napoleon. The music is outstanding and the light show is captivating.

Absolutely loved this experience. Highly recommend doing this activity if you are in Paris. The setting, the colors, the music where awesome
Linda_T, Jun 2026
An inspiring and dramatic sound and light show suitable for the entire family! Entrance is at 2 Place Vauban. Very easy to find.

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!

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

Don't be too late they'll lock you out. It's beautiful mesmerizing. Read all about the history before going. Amazing

Wonderfully well informed & prepared guide. A wonderful mix of history, religion, politics and economics.

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.

Music and light show inside the Invaildes Dome. Amazing experience and views. Not sure I’d recommend for little kids.
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!
Barbara_U, Oct 2025
Good experience. Great way to see the dome des invalides. Light show and music was really entertaining
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.
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.
Mandy_W, Jul 2025
A very captivating and informative experience. Definitely recommend, a highlight of our trip to Paris.
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.
NakiPete, Jul 2025
An outstanding experience and highly recommend for anyone wanting to see a completely different show while in Paris. What a treat!
Lana_L, Jun 2025
Requires standing in line and waiting prior to entry. Mainly a light show. Very little historical information.
Kristina_A, May 2025
This was the perfect way to end our Paris trip! Highly recommend this experience! The lights and music were beautiful!
Maureen_R, May 2025
It was spectacular, gave us goosebumps! Would definitely recommend this activity, just make sure to bring a light jacket, it can get cold inside
Charlotte_C, Jan 2025

Beautiful lights in an iconic monument,
45 m of magical moment …
You don’t feel to be in a crowded place .
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.
Sukhbinder_B, Oct 2023
Absolutely amazing and moving! It's was so nice to be able to walk around and see the light show, without so many people.
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!

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.
