Palais Garnier

The Palais Garnier, also known as the Opéra Garnier, is a grand opera house in Paris and one of the most famous and opulent buildings in the city. Located in the 9th arrondissement, it was designed by architect Charles Garnier and inaugurated in 1875. The building is an architectural masterpiece of the Beaux-Arts style, featuring an ornate façade, a grand staircase, and a lavishly decorated auditorium with a large crystal chandelier and Marc Chagall's ceiling fresco. The Palais Garnier has a rich history as the home of the Paris Opera and ballet, and it inspired Gaston Leroux's novel "The Phantom of the Opera." Today, it serves as both a performance venue and a museum, attracting visitors with its stunning interiors and cultural significance.
