A name you can't miss
Three minutes' walk from 10 Opéra, the Palais Garnier has commanded its façade since 1875. Whether you step inside for a performance or simply to admire its architecture, it's the unmissable landmark of the neighbourhood — the one that lent its name to both the hotel and the arrondissement.
Printemps & Galeries Lafayette
On boulevard Haussmann, Printemps and Galeries Lafayette bring together boutiques, restaurants and the department store's famous Art Nouveau glass dome. A must for any stay in Paris — a shopping break between two visits, ten minutes' walk from the hotel.
A Parisian icon
A Parisian landmark since 1882, the Musée Grévin brings together more than 200 wax figures, from historical icons to contemporary celebrities. A visit unlike any other, about ten minutes' walk from 10 Opéra.
19th-century Paris
About ten minutes' walk away, and home to the Musée Grévin, the passage Jouffroy opens onto one of the last covered arcades in the 9th arrondissement. A little journey back in time, rediscovering a forgotten Paris.
A free visit just steps from the hotel
Housed in a Second Empire mansion at 9 rue Scribe, five minutes' walk from 10 Opéra, this museum traces the history of perfume through a collection of antique bottles. Entry and the guided tour are both free, and the Fragonard boutique extends the experience for anyone wanting to take home a souvenir.
Just a few metro stops away
For those wanting to extend the walk, three major sights are within 15 to 20 minutes on foot, or a few metro stops away (line 7 or 8 from Opéra):
The Palais Royal: its gardens and arcades, just steps from the Louvre
The Tuileries Garden: a green expanse between Concorde and the Louvre
The Louvre Museum: the world's largest art museum, about 15-20 minutes on foot or 3 minutes by metro (line 7, 2 stops from Opéra)
The rest of Paris: Opéra station (lines 3, 7, 8) and the RER A put the whole capital within a few stops of 10 Opéra
