Palais Garnier
The Palais Garnier , or Garnier Opera House as it is more commonly known, is one of the places I will go to in Paris!
I cannot wait to go there because the Palais Garnier is the place where the famous Impressionist artist Edgar Degas was inspired to make some of his masterpieces, including "Stage Rehearsal," "Dance Class," and "Ballet Rehearsals."
In 1910, Gason Leroux wrote "The Phantom of the Opera" after he was inspired by tales of tragedies that happened at this theater. Parts of his tale are true and parts are false. The full, interesting story is in this link; it is an article from The Telegraph reporting on Leroux's story.
The famed chandelier!
I cannot wait to visit this magnificent looking place!
Au revoir for now! I have another French lesson to take today!
