9th arrondissement of Paris

The 9th arrondissement spans from Palais Garnier to Montmartre's base, featuring grand boulevards, department stores, and entertainment establishments across 2.2 square kilometers.

Napoleon III ordered the construction of Palais Garnier during the 1860s reconstruction period, resulting in a monumental building that transformed the district's architecture.

The district contains multiple performance venues, including the Olympia music hall, Folies Bergère cabaret, and Théâtre Mogador, which shape Paris entertainment scene.

Major transport connections at Opera metro station link visitors to Galeries Lafayette and Printemps department stores on Boulevard Haussmann.

À la Mère de Famille, established in 1761, stands as the oldest confectionery shop in Paris, preserving traditional candy-making methods in its original location.
