Palais Garnier

Opera Garnier is a major opera house next to the Galeries Lafayette department store in Paris. Its interior, the setting of The Phantom of the Opera, holds a grand foyer and an ornate lobby, and an audio guide covers the entrance statues and the auditorium boxes. Entry is by booking on the official website, after which visitors can walk through the interior and take photographs. Even with a timed booking, visitors wait at the entrance.
