My tour of Paris in the late 1980's I was so awe struck by this building I spent 4 hours at a coffee shop admiring every detail. I would have spent an entire day if I could have went inside. I recreated it in a game called Minecraft with my Grandson.
Really enjoyed this video. I know I visited the building prior to 1995 because I have photos of the interior, but I honestly don't remember touring it. I have a painting of the Opera's foyer and staircase in my own foyer. Knowledge of the building really adds perspective to the book and musical Phantom of the Opera.
I've been to the Opera, and I must say that the public tours are overpriced, for the limited view they allow you to have inside the theater, and NO photos are allowed.
Yes, in 2015 I had the privilege of visiting the Palais Garnier. The grand staircase is beyond the realms of reasoning and for that, I was in awe. As well, the upper hall with the mirrors and chandeliers, I would say, would rival that of Versailles (having been there.). In as much that I admire Marc Chagall, I feel his ceiling painting should have been incorporated into a new structure rather than covering the original ceiling fresco.

COMMENT: Have you been to Paris, and visited the Palais Garnier - or would you like to?
I attended a performance there, so indirectly "visited". A magnificent grande building. She is almost overwhelming in her beauty.
