Palais Garnier

Beyond the Rotonde des Abonnés, the Bassin de la Pythia leads to the Grand Escalier with its magnificent thirty-meter-high vault. Built of marble of various colours, it is home to the double staircase leading to the foyers and the various floors of the theatre. At the bottom of the stairs, a true theatre within the theatre, two female allegories holding torches greet spectators.

The Palais Garnier Opera House was built by Charles Garnier and opened in 1875. It is a historical monument open to visitors during the day for a guided tour or not;
