Explore the immense and majestic main staircase, the grand foyer of the Opera, inspired by the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles, and the belt of light surrounding the building. Your guide will share numerous anecdotes about the construction of this building, designed by Charles Garnier during the reign of Napoleon III in the second half of the 19th century.
