These graceful ballerinas dance under the Christmas tree of Palais Garnier's gift shop.
What a view of the icy street below.
These handcrafted papier-mâché dolls are illuminated with the flick of a switch.
Palais Garnier is one of my favorite places in Paris,
for the architecture, the music, the ballets and operas, the history, and...
the Phantom.

Jolies ballerines de papier...
Belle journée,

Just wonderful Genie. I suspect they come to life at midnight.
Beautiful. I like the Christmas tree and the glimpse out of the window too. I must get to Paris at Christmas one year.
I love these ballerinas! I also photographed them last year :-) When I first entered the awesome Palais Garnier I immediately thought of the Phantom of the Opera.
Cela évoque Degas.
So pretty, Genie! And perhaps even more magical when lit ~ is that even possible?
What a wonderful picture, the tree and the ballerinas so gracious.
Seeing them illuminated..my fist thought was..I want one! Then I would have to figure out how to get one in my carton.
That was carryon . iPads have a way of changing things!
adding it to the list of must see when i get to Paris .. sigh .. maybe this coming year ....
I love these dancers-I so wanted one of these to take home-but I do not think my luggage had space for anything else.
A gorgeous picture Genie. Hope you are warming up well for Christmas!

I find this picture very poetic!
I can sure see why this place would be a favorite! I love this photo. It's gorgeous!
So delightful!
A wonderful Paris Christmas photo. I saw the interior of the Opera Garnier for the first time this past October --- what opulence!!!! Splendiferous!
Hello to Nadege. Haven't seen your comments in a while, but then I've been a little absent myself. Indeed, it's always nice to see comments from all of the regulars.
Great photo!
A wonderful image Genie ... I love the view through the window looking out onto a winters day ... the tree is SO pretty.
Very magical.
Exquisite! By the look and the sound of it; it would be one of my favorite places too!
Lovely composition, Genie.
Beautifully composed image Genie, tres elegant.
