Opera
The Opéra district combines the elegance of its historic buildings with the dynamism of its lively streets. Iconic department stores and charming Rue Sainte-Anne, renowned for its Asian influence, offer a diverse range of restaurants and boutiques. Admire the Palais Garnier, a spectacular opera house adorned with a fresco by Chagall, famous for its music and dance performances. A few steps away, rue de la Paix leads to Place Vendôme, with its facades typical of French urbanism. Today, this square is the symbol of French luxury. Galeries Lafayette, with its panoramic views from the roof terrace and seasonally changing window displays, is a prime destination for shopping enthusiasts. Don't miss Paris's historic covered passageways, of which there are many in this district, such as Galerie Vivienne, Passage des Princes and Passage Jouffroy. Dating back to the 19th century, these passages were once elegant places for Parisians to stroll. Today, they are home to charming boutiques, antique stores and refined restaurants, offering a journey back in time to the heart of the city. A pleasant place to stroll, even when it's raining.
