Garnier opera
Charles Garnier was well inspired when he drew up the plans for the Opera, which will therefore bear his name, the Opera Garnier, this building inaugurated in 1875 has made a place of choice for itself in the architectural heritage of Paris. And yet, this architect was faced with a major problem because according to legend there is a lake under the Opera, a legend taken up by Gaston Leroux in his novel "The Phantom of the Opera". Indeed, the Opéra Garnier has become the most prestigious opera in Paris if not in France. This building, which has remained authentic, has been listed as a historical monument since 1923. It is a real emblematic figure of the city of Paris and its 9th arrondissement. The Opera is one of the most famous opera houses in the capital, so much so that citizens called it "the Paris opera" before the creation of the Bastille opera. The Opéra Garnier is one of the places to visit absolutely before leaving the capital.
