What Secrets Lie Beneath the Palais Garnier? -


Salut à tou.te.s,


La construction de ce chef-d’œuvre (=masterpiece) architectural de la Belle Époque a duré dix-sept ans. Entre tentatives (=attempts) d’assassinat, insurrections et légendes de fantômes (=ghosts), c’est un miracle qu’il ait vu le jour. Aujourd’hui, il fait le bonheur des mélomanes (=music lovers), des amateurs d’art et des passionnés de ballet.


The construction of this architectural masterpiece of the Belle Époque lasted seventeen years. Between assassination attempts, insurrections and ghost legends, it is a miracle that it saw the light of day. Today, it delights music lovers, art lovers and ballet enthusiasts.
