From the Pigalle we continued on down to see the Paris Opera House with the hope we could get a tour of the place that spawned the Phantom of the Opera! Most spots I was not allowed to photograph until we got to the places like the Great Hall where the ceiling art and walls were unbelievable.
These vases were all along the walls of the waiting area.
The Great Hall
Yes! A magnificent library with scripts and operas.
The Grand Staircase
The nonpareil Paris Metro. Perhaps the best in the world.
