Do I need to print my ticket, or is a mobile ticket accepted?

A mobile ticket displayed on your phone is accepted at the entrance — no printing required.

Is entry really free for children under 18?

Yes. Visitors under 18 enter free of charge. They must present valid ID (passport, national identity card, or similar) at the entrance.

What does 'priority entrance' actually mean here?

Your ticket grants access through a dedicated fast-track lane, allowing you to skip the standard admission queue. This is particularly useful during peak hours and holiday periods when Les Invalides draws large crowds.

How long should I allow for a visit?

The museum's collection is extensive. Most visitors spend between two and four hours, though you could easily fill a full day if you explore every gallery.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Free cancellation is available. Check the cancellation policy shown at checkout for the exact cut-off window before your visit date.

Is the museum accessible for visitors with reduced mobility?

Les Invalides has lift access and adapted facilities across much of the site, though some historic areas may have limitations. Contact the museum directly if you have specific accessibility requirements.
