The Invalides neighborhood is one of the most elegant in Paris and offers a must-see walking tour for visitors. If you’re visiting Paris and planning to go near the Invalides, we’ve put together an itinerary that covers all the highlights.
Start by taking the metro to the Champs-Élysées–Clemenceau station to begin your tour in front of the Grand Palais. Then head to the famous Alexandre III Bridge, considered one of the most beautiful in the capital, before admiring the majestic Hôtel des Invalides on its forecourt. As you continue your walk toward the Eiffel Tower, let yourself be carried away by the peaceful atmosphere of the banks of the Seine.
As you stroll along, you’ll discover Fluctuart, a must-see destination for lovers of art and contemporary culture.
Moored at the foot of the Pont des Invalides, Fluctuart is the world’s first floating urban art center. This unique venue showcases street art through a program of temporary exhibitions, artist talks, a specialty bookstore, and events held throughout the year.
Its bar and (especially) its rooftop also offer the perfect setting for taking a break by the water while enjoying a spectacular view of the Seine and the Eiffel Tower. Part exhibition space, part living area, and part place of discovery, Fluctuart offers a unique experience that allows visitors to explore the full richness of urban art in an exceptional setting.
An ideal way to wrap up a stroll through historic landmarks, iconic architecture, and contemporary art.
