The opera was impressive, magnificent. We were happy to see it from the inside. The sailing trip was, or rather the whole setup of getting so many people stowed on board and planted on a bench, I didn't care. A huge money machine, so I won't be subjected to that again, otherwise thanks. We cycled along the Seine, which we liked better.

I loved walking through the opera house! As someone who was a huge fan of Phantom of the Opera when I was younger, it was like a dream come true to get to be in the actual opera house the novel was based on and where part of the movie was filmed. I did not end up doing the Seine river cruise because unexpected plans came up instead.

The opera entry was seemless, additional fee for audio guide was good, but bulky. Packed with ppl during July summer. Prob would be nice to go to the Opera during an actual show to get better experience. The Seine cruise was so good, i recommend taking the last departure for less ppl, we went at 1030/1040pm. Paris on a saturday night is lovely and lively. Ppl gathered around the river to party and dance to their own music, lots of ship bars on the river. Lovely to see.
