Last night, we went to a ballet performance in the Palais Garnier opera house. It is a beautiful building that was designed in 1860 by Charles Garnier. The gilded auditorium is quite amazing. I took several photos to illustrate the level of bling.
The ceiling was painted by Marc Chagall, depicting various operas.
Today we went cycling again, and one sight along the way was the Place de la Concorde. It is the largest square in Paris and in the center is a 3300-yr-old obelisk that was a gift from Egypt in 1831. On the side of the obelisk, diagrams illustrate how the obelisk was erected.
Finally, a beautiful mural with a significant message that stands near the Centre Pompidou.
We tested negative for Covid, and will fly home tomorrow.
Thanks for sharing our journey.
Hoping for Peace!
