Continuing our bike ride through Paris we stopped at the Opera Square where we saw a great agitation around the Palais Garnier. In it there's the National Academy of Music and the Paris Opera. Standing by the stairs of the elegant building, a group of musicians played as if the Academy had come out to the street and had they gathered quite a crowd. We stayed some time to listen to them play while we contemplated the awesome facade of the palace.
Construído por Charles Garnier em 1861 a pedido de Napoleão III, foi inaugurada 14 anos depois. Combinando vários estilos arquitectónicos num clássico exemplo de Beaux-Arts, a sua fachada tem um trabalho de detalhe impressionante. É das mais conhecidas no mundo e ficou ainda mais famosa por servir de "palco" para a obra de Gaston Leroux, o Fantasma da Ópera.
