Hello, I found this survey really cool, a little short to resolve everything because the initial explanations take 15 minutes and that’s what we missed, I was the only adult with 2 children aged 10 and 12. The puzzles are very cool, as is the setting. Great time.

Upon entering the “Rotonde des Abonnés,” Palais Garnier greets its guests with elegance. The mystical basin of Pythia gives the entrance hall a special ambiance. The Grand Staircase, made of colorful marble, leads up to the splendid rooms “Rotonde du Glacier” with its notable tapestries, “Avant Foyer” in its golden glow, and the thematically designed “Salons de la Lune et du Soleil”. The auditorium, the heart of the house with Marc Chagall’s ceiling fresco, completes the impressive interior.

FAQ – Palais Garnier Tickets & Visit

Palais Garnier is an architectural masterpiece and an excellent example of the Beaux-Arts style, characterized by its lavish decorations, marble paneling, gilded ornamentation and finely crafted frescoes and sculptures. The construction of the opera house was commissioned by Napoleon III and was part of the extensive urban renewal under Georges-Eugène Haussmann in the mid-19th century. The house is known to many through Gaston Leroux’s novel The Phantom of the Opera.

There is a small lake under Palais Garnier. During the construction of the opera house, Charles Garnier noticed that the groundwater was very high and decided to build an underground lake as a water reservoir to solve the problem. This artificial lake served as the foundation for the building and helped keep the groundwater stable. The lake also served as inspiration for Gaston Leroux when he wrote “The Phantom of the Opera.” In the story, the Phantom lives in the catacombs of the opera house, near this lake. In real life, the lake is still used today by the Paris Fire Department for diving training.
