Description

*** Guided tour intended only for participants who speak and understand French***

Immerse yourself in a theatrical tour where an actor will guide you through the interior of the Opéra Garnier. Through a fully developed storyline, you will (re)discover this iconic landmark and the historical anecdotes that have made it famous. Get ready for an unforgettable and unique tour!

The storyline:
You will meet a stunning dancer from the Paris Opera Ballet. One evening, she falls and breaks her ankle. Injured for life, she has to give up her career as a dancer. Refusing to leave the institution she holds so dear, she manages to get a job as a tour guide at the Opéra Garnier. She then discovers “The Secret Fragrance of the Opera”…

Important notice:
Due to reasons related to the Opera's activities, the auditorium may be inaccessible without prior notice. Indeed, rehearsals result in frequent and unpredictable closures. There is no guarantee that it will be open during the tour, and no ticket guarantees access to it.
The guided tour is a narrative tour, presented by a French-speaking actress. For a comfortable tour experience, it is important to understand and speak French.

Additional information:
No cloakroom service is available. Entrance tickets included. The starting time must be strictly adhered to. The Opéra Garnier requires that you adhere to a non-flexible entry time slot. If you arrive even slightly after the specified time, the Opéra will deny you access to the site, with no option for rescheduling, refund, or a make-up visit.

Departure place:
The departure point is located at the corner of Rue Scribe and Rue Auber, under the left-hand column (topped with an eagle) before the entrance gate. You will recognize the guide by their “Un Amour d'Opéra” sign. It is important not to enter the Opéra, even if the security staff ask you to do so.
