It contains an extraordinary collection of his works art. In addition, the museum has preserved its 19th century atmosphere. 

 

Square Alex Biscarre

With a small surface area, this circular building park is both a family place (appreciated for its playground),
and a real haven of peace in which to rest in the shade of the trees.
But the major interest of Alex Biscarre Square is the sumptuous decor of the buildings surrounding it,
and more particularly the private hotel (called L’Hôtel Dosne-Thiers) located immediately to the left at the entrance of the park.

L’Opéra Garnier

The Opéra Garnier, or Palais Garnier, is a national theatre with the vocation of being an academy of music, choreography and lyric poetry.

The building houses an imposing auditorium, the ceiling of which was painted by Chagall in 1964.
