Opera Garnier
Constructed in 1862 by the young architect Charles Garnier in the style of the Second Empire, the Opera was completed in 1875 in the first days of the Third Republic.
It was the largest opera house in the world. An interesting point is that this massive edifice is built on an underground river, which continues to fill a subterranean lake.
Legend has it that the Phantom of the Opera, created by Gaston Leroux, continues to carry out his hair-raising activities.
An absolute must: The great staircase, of which the first ten steps form a magnificent elevator cage, the ceiling frescos in vivid colors created by Marc Chagall in 1964 and the immense crystal chandelier weighing six tons.
Tickets for ballet performances at the Opera are hard to come by. However, if you are unable to obtain some, you must try to experience the gold and velvet ambiance of the building itself (the main entrance hall is open from 11 am to 4.30 pm).
