Pascal was a wealth of knowledge and provided an incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I'm so glad I found this option to see Normandy from Paris after exploring numerous other options to get out there on my own on a solo trip. I will definitely keep this group in mind when I return to tour other places they do.

Normandy D-Day beaches Full-Day Trip
The place is really bigger than I've imagined. No only thing I regret is arriving earlier so I would I more time to explore the museum.
We really enjoyed visiting the army museum. All the weapons and clothing worn by our ancestors are magnificent. It's our history.

The grandeur of Napoleon's Tomb under the dome of the Dome at Les Invalides transfers all that good and crazy that man did for his country. Not to be missed

It's been all chopped up and there is not clear signage to let you know if you are headed in the right direction. We had to stop and ask multiple times. Also missed the large room with all of the halberts. Disappointed, as it was a big reason for our visit.
The restrooms adjacent to the museum store were not handicap accessible. The elevator could not be called from the lower level where the restrooms were located. In addition, there was no soap or paper towels in the women's restroom. That put a damper on seeing the wonderful exhibits and Napolean's tomb.
Take a tour to the beaches of Normandy in the historical context of the Second World War, the visit to a cider factory has nothing to do with it and seems more like a commercial agreement with the tour company than a contribution to the tourist circuit.

I did not expect how amazing it is! The hidden gem! Must visit! Plan at least an hour for a quick visit or at least 2 hours to see all the exhibitions in detail.
Hotel des Invalides and army museum were visited. Buying tickets online athead of time was convenient and reasonable. Would suggest at least 2-3 hours to visit the whole complex. Longer if you are a history / war history enthusiast. There was a wedding going on in the center plaza which was actually one of the highlights to watch.
The collection of arms and armour was impressive but what wowed us most was the dome containing Napoleon's tomb. It was really easy getting and using the online tickets via Head out.
The visit was good, there was almost no one so there were no queues for anything, we did not go with a guide. The place is monumental, very good, very big and varied, so big that it becomes saturated.

Hello Headout, the tickets in the app were very well, but at the venue Hotel des Invalides we had to get two extra tickets (for free) for the kids, so we could not enter te venue immediately. That's why the experience was 'alright'. We had a great day in Paris and Inavlides, so thank you!
The exhibition on L'art du combat was superb. Combined with exhibits and videos of combat in fencing from The 1920s and some even earlier, it was most interesting to see and very informative as well. We were especially interested as we have three national level fencers in our family.
You have free choice though part you wanted to visit, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Me first time visiting the Invalides was only for the tomb of Napoleon, now I have seen almost everything because it was my turn for the time trial of the Olympics and it was still early. Top experience Merci to everyone for the staff of the Invalides

Seeing Napoleon's tomb was an awesome site to behold, and didn't realize how highly esteemed he was by French people as most of what u learned growing up was that he was an Anti-Christ....got a new appreciation for what he did for France...he even supported the Church and saw churches he pushed to be built. He also had Arc De Triomphe built for returning victorious armies but wa never done before he died. This rounded out a nice trip!
Beautiful museum with weapons and everything about the wars in which the French participated. Napoleon's tomb simply spectacular.

Just 2 old women from America enjoying a trip to Paris. My mother really wanted to see Napoleon's tomb. I thought "meh what's the big deal." There was an event happening at the museum the day we went, and roads leading up to the museum were blocked off, and there were lots of people in matching shirts running around the greens outside the museum (to this American with some German heritage it looked like Oktoberfest) and we had to go in a back entrance, and there was a section with just endless swords and cannons, and my mom kept saying she wanted to see the tomb, and we finally found it at the other end of the museum, and I must say it was quite spectacular. You could easily spend a whole day here. Great exhibits.
Our catacombs tour was cancelled, and we decided to go to the museum and we were greatly happy whit our choice. The grandeur of the museum and the tomb were spectacular. We with definitely tell any of our friends who will plan on visiting Paris to stop by to see it.
The museum is splendid, and the explanations are clear. Tickets on the app, but unfortunately I couldn't get children's tickets (free), so I had to queue at the ticket office to get them. The museum is fine, but there's no point in buying tickets online if you're with children.

I love that everything was super fast. I just swiped the code they gave me and it was done! I didn't have to wait in line and the place is beautiful and worth it!

We had close to four hours to spend in the museum and it wasn't enough time. So much to see; so well done; and the staff was so helpful.
The care of the place, the details to read and learn about French history and culture, the creativity with which visitors are invited to discover curious facts, the kindness of the workers. Vive la France!

Entry was easy and convenient. The army museum was really interesting and it had a good layout. I liked how the different war time periods were organized.
Great museum. Beautiful building and setting steeped inhistory. Id say it was a must visit for anyone interested in French history
Napoleons tomb and the war history artifacts were highlights of the tour. The cathedral where Napoleon's tomb is was quite ornate.

On June 6, 1944, a 50-mile stretch of Normandy coastline was targeted by the Allied forces for landing. The beaches were Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. Explore the beaches, learn about their logistical roles, and remember the sacrifices made by the soldiers during Normandy’s invasion.
From wartime artifacts, personal belongings, and compelling exhibits, the D-Day museums, Musée du Débarquement de Utah Beach and Overlord Museum, help you gain a profound understanding of the pivotal events that changed the trajectory of WWII.
As part of the D-Day Tours, you’ll visit three distinct memorials: Pointe du Hoc Ranger Memorial, Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, and Caen Peace Memorial, each a solemn yet awe-inspiring tribute, evoking deep gratitude for those who sacrificed for freedom.
Longues-sur-Mer Battery and Mulberry Harbours Caissons are interesting sites to visit on your D-Day tour. The Longues-sur-Mer Battery consists of four pillboxes that still house the original guns used on June 6, 1944; whereas Mulberry Harbours Caissons are floating harbors designed and constructed by the British to protect their supply ships.
