The Garnier Opera is one of the most beautiful and easy places to visit in Paris. It's right across the street when you exit the Metro station Opera. I actually attended the Opera there. A great experience. The seats were tiny and uncomfortable compared to what we're used to, but to sit there and look around was an experience I'll... More

You must go and try to watch a opera in it. Unfortunately my wife and I couldn't get a ticket since it's fully booked for the whole week. Next time, we need to book the ticket before we go to Paris.

There is no reason not to marvel at the Opera. It is in Paris's most affluent areas at the end of Rue De Le Pais. You can take a subway right from the base of the Opera to anywhere in Paris. Take your photos of it in the day and at night, if you have a good lens. However, it... More

The Opera is glorious in it's own right, but our guided tour -- hosted by an English-speaking Dutch woman -- was excellent. It was fascinating-- with lot's of detail about the building, its history and the typical operagoers of the 19th century

My first visit to an opera house and I was not disappointed. This place was really designed for the rich and wealthy of the period. From the grand staircase to the salons leading off, we're you can imagine ladies and gents in their finery sipping champagne while waiting for the performance to start. You get a view of the opera...
