    The exhibition is superb 👍👍👍 We were dazzled by all these masterpieces...🤩🤩🤩 The only small negative point was the beginning of the visit. The first room doesn't flow smoothly... 😔😕 We didn't really look at the costumes in this room because there wasn't enough room... The rest went wonderfully well.

    Open-mouthed left. A 'miserable miserable' theater. Joke. Really worth it: staircases, marble, stucco, gold, frescoes, attention to detail. Ticket from the app, reader and away began the wide-eyed experience.

    Easy to book. BUT charge MUCH TOO MUCH for the service provided!!! In short, going through this intermediary only allowed me to buy two tickets that were no longer available on the official website. Finally, it was impossible to know in advance, but there was the possibility of getting tickets on the spot WITHOUT WAITING.

    Everything went smoothly. Opera Garnier is so beautiful in hindsight we should have booked a guide or an audio guide .

    The grand staircase! It's a shame not all floors are accessible!
  • Boasting an eclectic and ostentatious Baroque design, the Opera Garnier is one of the most extravagant representations of Second Empire architecture in France. Thanks to your timed entry tickets, benefit from quick and easy access to this magnificent building in the center of Paris.

    Inaugurated in 1875 and named after its exciting young architect, Charles Garnier, it is the largest opera house in Europe. You will set eyes on the writhing snakes of the bronze “Pythonisse” sculpture, before climbing the double stairway of the “Grand Escalier” (Main Staircase). Imagine the swish of crinolines as you admire the breathtaking décor and stroll through vast foyers, filled with sparkling mosaics, colorful marble columns, and gold-leaf flourishes. Everywhere you look will be a feast for the eyes.
