Notes
Hours:
10 a.m. - 5 p.m. (usually until 6 p.m. in July and August). Closed during performances, and the last admission is 30 minutes before the building closes. (We'd suggest allowing at least an hour, and preferably longer, for your visit.)

Admission:
€8 for adults, half-price for children over 10. (Cash only; during our visit, the jag-off* at the ticket window was gleefully turning away visitors who didn't have exact change.)Once you've bought your ticket, you'll be able to explore the lobbies, foyers, auditorium, and museum.

ISIC:
30% Discount on a visit to the Garnier Palace. Discover this opulent place for 8 € instead of 11€ with your ISIC card. Only on reservation, call 01 41 10 08 17
