Amazing architecture, incredibly opulent.I am so glad that I visited. The entrance to the building is a bit confusing, you have to go all the way around the building before it is evident where to enter. It really is a site to put on your list. However, the staff is outrageously RUDE , unhelpful and could care less if you see the building or not.

Don't miss seeing the Palais Garnier, even if you never attend the opera or ballet. This is one of Paris' grand buildings, and I enjoyed the experience of learning it's history on a guided tour of it's exceptionally beautiful and ornate architecture, paintings, sculpture and more -- after hours without the crowds. You will learn the challenges of its design, about the architect (and how and where Garner became the first to memorialize his creation); about the history at its inception, followed by its opening after France had become a republic. I am not a devout Phantom of the Opera fan. Yet it was amazing to hear the story told where it took place. The 90-minute guided tour that begins at 5pm sells out so it would be best to reserve a space and pay for your tickets ahead of time. Easily done on the website. Bring a copy of your receipt and convert it into tickets at the box office. Our delightful tour guide Karen lead an informative and enjoyable tour, and was exceptionally kind to children in the group.
