The Palais Garnier, the national opera house of Paris, is a magnificent building dripping in ornate details and glittering with gold.

The decoration goes beyond the auditorium: The grand foyer rivals the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, and the grand staircase is an entryway fit for royalty. You don’t need to buy a ticket to the opera to see the space: Tours are given daily in a variety of languages.
