Palais Garnier Opera House




Palais Garnier Opera House

Palais Garnier Opera House is a Paris must-see, with all of the opulence of the 1900s and was the inspiration for the famous book, musical, and film Phantom of the Opera. It is one of the most known opera houses in the world. Napoleon III Commissioned Charles Garnier to create the building, in the grand Beaux-Arts style of the time with substantial glass chandeliers, 
marble staircases, and gilt decorations.

Now home to the Paris Ballet, it has a 2,000 seat theatre and is a fantastic Parisian treasure.
