L'Opéra Garnier, che prese il nome dall'architetto che la progettò nel 1862, venne resa immortale dallo scrittore Gaston Leroux nel suo "Il fantasma dell'opera". L'architettura ha elementi barocchi, classici, greci e dello stile napoleonico. Decorato con mosaici, il foyer è dotato di una cupola dipinta dal pittore Marc Chagall e una scala rococo impressionante, che conduce al fantastico spazio della reception del teatro.
