If you are a shopping lover, this will be one of your paradises. Galeries Lafayette and its rooftop terrace One of the most practical options for getting to know the area is to choose a tour that combines a guided visit to the opera with a walking tour of the surrounding area and a visit to the Palais Royal, located between the Opera and the Tulleries districts. The Paris Opera is a symbol of the lifestyle of affluent Paris, which is reflected in the surroundings of the building and the covered shopping arcades that surround it. Views from the rooftop of the Paris Opera House Take advantage of being in the area of the Opera Granier to take a tour of the luxurious 'passages' and shopping arcades in the area. Of course, I recommend you to take into account the French schedules (lunchtime is usually between 12 and 14 pm and dinners start from 19 pm) and book in advance to avoid waiting. If you want to eat in the neighborhood before or after your visit you will find both simple restaurants and elegant cafes where you can enjoy French food without the crowds of other busier areas of the capital. This is a stately neighborhood ideal for shopping and leisurely strolling without a large influx of tourists and can be reached either by walking from the nearby neighborhoods of the north bank of Paris (the Louvre or the Champs Elysees) or by metro (line 7, line 8 and line 3). The Paris Opera is located in the Quartier de L'Opera, a central district north of the Tuileries Gardens and the Louvre Museum.
