From Saturday 10 December 2016 to Monday 2 January 2017, on the occasion of Christmas and the New Year, we are pleased to offer you a special cultural programming for the whole family.
Effective Monday 10 December, a Christmas Market dedicated to French traditional know-how will open its doors at the foot of the majestic Dôme Church of the Invalides where a broad selection of French quality products and crafts such as delicatessen, wines, liqueurs, personalized jewellery and artefacts will be proposed for sale. Children and adults alike will love these holiday gifts!
On this occasion, the Dôme Church, the final resting place of Napoleon I, will remain open till 8 pm. We invite you to extend your visit to one the most splendid examples of French Baroque architecture that will be exceptionally lit inside each night. A wonderful opportunity for a candle-lit evening visit of one of the finest monuments of the French capital.
Visitors will also be given a unique opportunity to discover a collection of figurines representing the celebrated Coronation of Napoleon as painted by Jacques-Louis David that took place on December 2, 1805.
