Palais Garnier, Observation point at Opera House in Paris, France
The Palais Garnier roof area presents views of central Paris, extending from the grand boulevards to the Seine River and Montmartre district.
The observation terrace, completed in 1875 along with the opera house, reflects architect Charles Garnier's vision of creating multiple vantage points around the structure.
The rooftop terrace allows visitors to examine the detailed bronze sculptures of music and dance that adorn the building's upper sections.
Access to the observation point requires purchasing a ticket at the main entrance, with visits available during regular opening hours from 10:00 to 17:00.
The roof area contains 30 separate chimney structures, each decorated with detailed metalwork that serves both functional and decorative purposes.
