Our experience was totally awesome! Got in right away & was able to enjoy & be amazed with Palais Garnier. For future travel plans, will definitely be checking Headout for tickets. Thanks for the memorable experience.

There were 8 of us and we split in groups of 4. It was a great way to explore the opera house and interact with friends and family. We all had an excellent time.

Went with my parents for dinner. Classic Parisian atmosphere, and the seafood was excellent. Service was a bit slow but very polite. Would recommend for special occasions.
