You will set eyes on the writhing snakes of the bronze “Pythonisse” sculpture, before climbing the double stairway of the “Grand Escalier” (Main Staircase). Garnier’s unique signature will be pointed out among the magnificent arabesques, before you move on to explore the building's galaxy of riches. Once you have met your guide at the entrance of the museum, you will be taken to the “Rotonde des Abonnes” (Members’ Rotunda), once used as the formal welcome area for opera guests. Inaugurated in 1875 and named after its exciting young architect, Charles Garnier, it is the largest opera house in Europe. Take this 90-minute guided tour of Opera Garnier, walk through its public areas and discover flamboyant art works as you follow in the footsteps of fashionable 19th-century French society.
