Opéra Garnier: A must-see

A guided tour lasting between 1h30 and 2 hours, to suit you, to discover the intricacies of the capital's most famous opera house, inaugurated on January 5, 1875.

Designed by Charles Garnier (1825-1898), following the very first architectural competition in French history, the Opéra Garnier remains one of the few buildings to bear the name of its designer. 

Combining tradition (classical architecture and Italian mosaics) and innovation (polychrome marble and metal construction), the Opéra Garnier skilfully blends the greatest pieces of European architectural history, in the service of a spectacular conception of staging, where what happens outside the auditorium is just as important as what happens on stage.

Please note that the guided tour does not include the cost of a time-stamped ticket to the museum (you can check here whether you are eligible for a discount or free admission): this cost is your responsibility, and must be added to the price of the guided tour.

Please also note that the Paris Opera does not allow families with baby carriages to visit the Opera, due to accessibility problems.
