The Opéra Garnier is one of the most beautiful buildings in Paris, be it night or day. And this is just the front of the exterior. I have not yet taken a tour of the interior, but have heard it's beautiful. Here, I was just waiting for my bus and couldn't resist a quick snap of it, all lit up and glowing. It's the kind of thing I sure wouldn't see out in "cow suburbia" where I came from (i.e. Northwest Jersey).
