Opera Garnier

Attending a performance at the Opera Garnier is a beautiful experience. The building inside and out is a piece of art. While watching ballet from a balcony covered in red and gold, one gets easily carried into the past. Having a glass of real champagne over the break makes the whole experience even more complete. Just do not watch any performances from the very top rows since the seats there are made for torture. One will be crammed to the neighbors and his knees will be pressed hard into the back of the person in front. There is no way one can enjoy music and sights in such a position.
