The meeting point is on the plaza, right in front of the Opera Garnier. From the very first moment, your live guide welcomes you in front of this majestic facade, a shining symbol of Parisian cultural life.
The tour begins with a gradual immersion in the public areas. The tour first leads you to the Grand Escalier, the true beating heart of the building. The ante-foyer and then the grand foyer then open up, bathed in light, offering a spectacular view of the richness of the decoration and the scale of the spaces.
The discovery continues through more intimate spaces full of symbolism: the Rotonde des abonnées, the Salons du Glacier, de la Lune, and du Soleil, each with its own atmosphere, as well as the mysterious Bassin de la Pythie. Your live guide also takes you to the library-museum, where the history of the Opera is told through archives, costumes, and rare objects.
The highlight of the tour, the entrance to the "Italian-style" theater, always arouses wonder. With a capacity of 2,101 spectators, it impresses with its harmony and its ceiling painted by Marc Chagall in 1964. Classified as a historic monument since 1923 and attracting nearly 480,000 visitors a year, Opera Garnier remains a living place, dedicated to opera and ballet shows.
