Reference: FR75-0490This token represents the façade of the Palais Garnier, inaugurated on January 5, 1875.
The new Parisian opera house was inaugurated by the President of the Republic Mac-Mahon. Built by Charles Garnier after winning the competition organized by Napoleon III in 1860, the building was intended to be an imperial theater. Its decorative baroque exuberance with its facade decorated with sculptures testifies to the wishes of Napoleon III. Inside, the grand staircase and its thirty monolithic marble columns are particularly impressive. The ceiling of the auditorium was decorated in 1964 by the painter Chagall.
