Description:
Your tour chronicles the rise of the Bourgeoisie class while examining the affect that Haussmann’s revolutionary town planning still has today. Observe striking buildings, and promenade along the famous avenues, before entering the stunning Opera Garnier to marvel at its exemplary style.
Your journey begins pre-Haussmann at the Palais Royal—Paris’ first covered shopping arcade. Hear how these arcades multiplied across town and transformed everyday life. Despite their popularity, many would not survive Haussmann’s redesigning of Paris. Step onto the distinguished tree-lined boulevards, emblematic of Haussmann’s style and deeply rooted in the city’s 19th-century fashion. These were the places to be seen and were central to the social life of the emerging Bourgeoisie.
Come to one of the defining buildings of this era of architecture and design—the Opera Garnier. Stroll around the outside of the building, which offers plenty of talking points, and if the rehearsal schedule allows, step inside to appreciate the full glory of this majestic building.
