Please note: no visitors will be admitted through the entrance on the Esplanade side (a 15-minute walk separates the two entrances).

Facilities: the site has no toilets, cloakroom or food service. For safety reasons, pushchairs, scooters, luggage and bulky items are not allowed on site.

Accessibility: the experience is not recommended for children under 5. It takes the form of a walk-through. There are stairs inside and outside the Dôme des Invalides. There is no step-free access, and the Dôme is not accessible to people with reduced mobility. Visitors who are sensitive to such effects should be aware that the experience includes flickering lights and loud sound.

What to bring: as the Dôme is a large historic monument, it can be cold inside. We strongly recommend warm clothing (hat, gloves, scarves, etc.). Visitors who are hypersensitive to loud sounds are responsible for bringing suitable protection (ear defenders, earplugs, etc.), particularly for young children.

On-site rules: L'Hôtel national des Invalides houses a military hospital. Please respect the residents' peace by remaining quiet around the Dôme. Drinking, eating and smoking (including electronic cigarettes) are prohibited throughout the site.
