Top 10 Things to do in Chaussée-d'Antin La Fayette, Ile-de-France

August 1, 2021 Natalie Tallman

Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

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.

Quartier de l'Opera

Reviewed By B1714D - Belgrade, Serbia

The outstanding Palace de Garnier, or the Opera house is absolutely the main attraction here, jaw dropping both inside and outside (see that review). Besides it, this neighborhood is home to the famous department stores, Galleries Laffayete being the biggest one, as well many restaurants, hotels and designer shops. Certainly an area to explore.

The museum reveals the secrets to the perfume trade, as well as a collection of precious objects tracing the history of perfume from antiquity to the present day. Immersed in the atmosphere of a late nineteenth century perfume factory, visitors will discover the world of fragrance through a set design that combines ancient artefacts, archives and videos of modern production.

A lovely, intimate, FREE tour that is very interesting if you are a devotee of fragrance and perfumes. The displays of antique bottles and labels were beautiful and interesting. At the end of the tour, they will offer to help you select products to buy from their current collections, but I did not feel obligated or pressured.

Le Groupe Sculpte La Poesie is one of two stunning gilded sculptures standing at the top of the Palais Garnier. This is the statue to Poetry and the one on the left side is the statue to Harmony. Absolutely wonderfully stunning sculptures.
