The Opéra Garnier? An enchantment!
The Opéra Garnier invites visitors to make a dazzling discovery: music and the visual arts come together here under the aegis of architecture. The life's work of one man, the architect Charles Garnier, who designed and modelled it down to the finest detail, the Opéra Garnier, built between 1861 and 1875, is a monument of unclassifiable style. Its rich, innovative decor combines gold and colour, paint, mosaics and marble to create a symphony of harmony like no other.
