Opera Quarter: Luxury, Glitz and Pleasure

The Opera house is the incarnation of the whole area around. In the middle of the Haussmann new streets, it was made to be a center of sociality, like the cafes or the covered passages around.

Because it was unthinkable in the past to go to the opera without your best dress or suit, the department stores are right behind it and the banks in the streets nearby, just in case.

The Opera Quarter is an unmissable if you like luxury, elegance and glitters.
