Visit "A Love of Opera" on June 7, 2026.

A very pleasant visit with Marion, who was able to take us on a journey through time and the history of the Opéra Garnier: the sumptuous decor of its immense creator, the imprint of the young king fond of dance, the first "pointe" shoes of the ballerina Taglioni, the romantic rendezvous in the moon salon, the mysteries of the phantom of box number 5... So many little details that led us in the footsteps of the little rats of the Opera! Thank you to Marion, thank you for these delightful moments.

Visit with Florie...

The visit with Florie was a super pleasant time. She took us back in time and captivated us with her stories about dancer Leila and Matisse

Exciting visit to the Opera Garnier

The guide greeted us at the meeting point, and the tour began on time. She was able to perfectly combine the historic visit of the Palais Garnier with the story of the life of a dancer. A few welcome anecdotes about the life habits and customs of opera at the time and today. This tour is recommended for both adults and children, whom the guide was able to interest throughout the tour (1h45). Congratulations.
