The Palais Garnier is definitely worth a visit It’s a masterpiece of architecture which not only has a grand theatre, art, statues, a library and costumes, it also is home to a grand marble staircase and a stunning long opulent golden gallery. The gift shop sells a large selection of books, artwork and gifts. Although there’s a lift within the building, recommend checking if has accessible access points. A guided tour would likely provide additional information.

Get there early if you want to capture pictures without tourists. If you're talking selfies and are surrounded by tourists, use the portrait mode and slightly blur the background. Look closely at the details. Those are bats on the ceiling! Leisurely stroll through the hall of chandeliers and imagine walking amongst the French elite. I loved the sound of my footsteps on the parquet floor. Patiently wait to step out of the dim balcony box and see the theater. The sound of silence is incredible. Look up at the breathtaking paintings. Take a tremendous amount of pictures as the postcards in the gift shop are lacking in quality. Paris is always a good idea.

C'était magique, j'ai fait un bond dans le passé...j'étais au XIX siècle...tout n'est que splendeur! Je revivais ma visite au Palais de Versailles dans un autre lieu. L'audio guide est juste parfait, le cheminement est très bien expliqué pour garder une cohérence de visite et mieux voir tous les détails des oeuvres. Merci M. Garnier de nous avoir légué un tel patrimoine.
