The Opéra Garnier in Paris is simply impressive! The building is already an architectural masterpiece from the outside, but as soon as you enter the interior, you feel like you are transported back in time. The magnificent halls, gilded ornaments and impressive architecture are simply breathtaking.

We had an amazing tour covering the history of the Architect and builder, along with a great overview of the history of the 11 failed opera buildings from Louis the IX to Napoleon III. Erika, our tour guide and was originally from the Netherlands, and was absolutely fantastic. Dynamic in her speaking, respectful of the history and the Theatre itself. There were many moments for photos throughout the tour - and incredible explanations of the journey through the history of the opera, and the people that made up that cultural scene throughout the years.
