Full description

When the daytime crowds leave, the Dôme des Invalides hosts a projection show that maps light onto its columns, arches and painted cupola. Set to an orchestral soundtrack, it traces the architecture of the church and the history it holds, ending under the dome above Napoleon’s tomb.

The show is seated, lasts around half an hour, and needs no prior knowledge. It works well as an evening plan after dinner in the 7th arrondissement, and it’s a very different way to see a building most people only visit by daylight.
