📝 Visitor Review

One of the must-see attractions in Paris is the **Opéra Garnier**. A masterpiece of 19th-century French Neoclassical architecture, it exudes opulence from exterior to interior.

The ceiling painting by Chagall and the magnificent chandelier are particularly striking. Stepping into the hall feels like stepping into another era. ✨. Even without a performance, the interior tour alone is impressive enough.

I rented an audio guide on-site, which enriched my experience by allowing me to hear about the philosophy of architect Charles Garnier and the Parisian social culture of the time. The interior staircase is also a popular photo spot 📸, and most visitors were snapping amazing photos.



💡 Visiting Tips
• Reserving performance tickets online in advance is essential! (Ballet and opera especially sell out quickly.)
• If you're only taking the interior tour, visit in the morning to avoid crowds.
• While the dress code isn't strict, we recommend dressing modestly for the performance 👗👔.



👍 Reasons to Recommend
1. A space where you can experience the essence of French architecture and art.
2. The interior tour alone is highly satisfying, not just the performance.
3. A unique experience that elevates your Parisian experience.
