Paris - Looking up the Grand Foyer, Palais Garnier
The Grand Foyer - Palais Garnier - Paris, France.
Definitely not something you'd describe as understated elegance, the Grand Foyer at the Palace Garnier is, in all its grandiose meaning, opulent and over-the-top much like the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles. It was modeled upon the Grand Théatre de Bordeaux and the elegant French and Italian residences of the 17th and 18th centuries.
The Palace Garnier was built from 1861 to 1875. It is also the house of the Paris Opera - the Opera Garnier which is one of the most famous opera houses in the world.
