About this tour

Stand beneath the golden dome of Les Invalides and come face to face with Napoleon I’s tomb on a self-guided visit in Paris. This 120-minute experience pairs the grandeur of the Dome with the collections of the Army Museum, offering a close look at the people, objects, and stories behind France’s military history.

Your admission includes the museum’s permanent collections, temporary exhibitions, the Museum of the Order of the Liberation, and the Museum of Relief Maps. A free online guide helps you explore at your own pace. Skip-the-line access applies at the cashier, and phone or WhatsApp assistance is available during office hours, 9:00–17:00 Paris time. No live guide is included, so bring your own headphones if you plan to listen to the online guide.

This Paris Napoleon Tomb and Army Museum visit is wheelchair accessible in the museum, though steps inside and outside the Dome make Napoleon’s tomb inaccessible to visitors with reduced mobility. Head directly to the entrance with your actual admission ticket; the booking confirmation voucher is not valid for entry. Discover Les Invalides at your own pace and step into centuries of history.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 3.50 from 4 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Paris
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.8.
