Wonderful

Jessica ·

Was able to enter even though the paid tickets were all sold out. It’s easy to get lost inside as there are little to no signs, but it’s wonderful.

Yes, I recommend this attraction

One of the most beautiful places in Paris

Tom from Oregon ·

We almost didn’t go, we’re glad we did. Just a fantastic interior. We were lucky as we could take a peak inside the hall. We paid for the VR experience which was good.

Worth your time

Shay ·

Absolutely stunning! Have been wanting to get inside and see after years of seeing opera house in movies.

Glad I’ve been to a performance here!

Susan ·

This place is beautiful, but some accommodation needs to be made so that people can see the theater area. Also, I didn’t expect such large crowds this time of year.

I did not know what to expect, the Opera was on my way to the hotel. But I was amazed of the interior. Everything was so beautiful. I recommend visit this attraction. I only regret that the auditorium was closed that day, but other than that it was marvellous.

Swoon worthy architecture! Beautiful!

Ashley ·

I have been to Paris several times but never gone inside here and it was absolutely worth it! Very quick line with easy entry within about 10 minutes. Security was fast.
