Travel lovers don’t need to explain what Airbnb is. This popular online platform for private rentals around the world recently announced a one-night rental in partnership with Paris’ Opera Garnier (Grand Opéra) for July 16-17 of a magnificent honorary box in that theater.
This offer is open to two people who will also have the opportunity to go backstage at the famed theater, visit its archives and dance studios under the roof, enjoy dinner served in the rehearsal room backstage, see the legendary underground lake below the Opera, and listen to a recital.
This right will be won by the fastest Internet user. The price of the question is only 37 euros.
On Wednesday, March 1, at 18:00, the user who is the first to make a request for re-certification will receive this unheard of lot. He will be able to spend the night of July 16 to 17 at the Opera Garnier in the company of someone close to him. There is a condition: you must be of legal age and have an Airbnb account with no negative reviews.
For the occasion, the lodge will be transformed into a bedroom. Normally reserved for the president of France or foreign heads of state, the box will be furnished in the style of the Second Empire (1852 1870), fully selected in the antique shops of the St. Ouen “flea market,” said Airbnb.
This unusual rental is part of Airbnb’s commitment to promoting tourism related to the cultural and historical heritage of France and Europe.
Through this partnership with the Grand Opéra, Airbnb will contribute to the restoration of the Garnier Palace. The support of Airbnb will also finance the development of a new streaming platform for the theater, bringing together all of the Paris Opera’s audiovisual content for audiences around the world.
