Currently, firefighters from the city use the lake as a place to practice their diving.
Though they tried everything to eradicate all the water for eight months, Garnier came up with the brilliant idea to use all that water as a citadel in case of a fire and so that is how a confined lake came to be beneath the famous Palais Garnier. How did this happen? During the assembly of the opera house basement in 1861 originally designed by Charles Garnier, construction workers dug too deep and realized that water was rising from underneath the ground. Intriguing fact we bet you didn't know about Palais Garnier is that there is an underground lake! Shocking isn’t it? In fact, this underground lake is what inspired the famous Phantom of the Opera’s lair. Underground lake in Palais Garnier is not a mythĮveryone has heard of the Palais Garnier, it’s a monument where pure harmony takes place, where you can fancy Verdi’s La Traviata with your eyes closed humming along to the sound of the beautiful voice coming from the opera vocalist or let yourself be immersed in some of the most eminent performances known to men such as a ballet recital.
