The lampposts outside the Palais Garnier stand as an exquisite blend of art and functionality, capturing the opulence and grandeur of the Belle Époque.
These lampposts feature elegant female figures, often referred to as “caryatids,” who hold the lamps aloft with graceful poise.
Crafted with intricate detailing, these sculptures reflect the neoclassical and Beaux-Arts influences that characterise the architectural marvel of the opera house.
