The Opéra Garnier is an absolute must-see place in Paris. Made famous by the novel The Phantom of the Opera, Parisians have been flocking there for over 150 years to see its wonders but also secretly for a chance to cross paths with the famous phantom.
The interior of this lavish building is just as impressive as its exterior, with luxurious decorations and unique architectural elements that make it a jewel of French architecture.
The main staircase, which leads to the auditorium, is a true masterpiece. With its wrought iron railings and mirrors, it offers a sumptuous and elegant setting.
The auditorium itself is also a sight to behold, with ceilings painted by Marc Chagall, gilded ornaments and marble balconies.
The foyer of the Opera House is also a must-see, with its painted ceilings, mirrored walls and precious wooden furniture. It's a great place to relax before or after a performance, while admiring the beauty of the Opera's architecture.
The Paris Opera also houses many other rooms and backstage areas that some lucky people have the pleasure of visiting.
