Heaps of rocks from an ancient seabed nearby have created Mt. Blanc,
the highest peak in the Alps 15,771 feet (4807 m) high. Its peaks
are perpetually covered in snow and soars above 40 square miles of
glaciers that periodically flow to the bottom of near by Chamonix
valley. 16th century legend has it say that a temple and statue of
the Celtic sky god Jupiter poeninus, was once located upon a pass
high on the mountains side. Old Christian myths point out St. Bernard’s
eventual domination of this pagan devil and the ensuing naming of
the peak as Mont Moudit or the accursed mountain visited by famous
European poets such as Goethe and many more.
This is the famous Opera Garnier. This lavish theatre is home to the
Phantom of Phantom of the Opera. However, today few operas actually
play here; it is mainly used for ballet and this should come as a
surprise since many of Degas' famous ballet paintings are set here.
There is also a museum here, which runs through the Grand Foyer by
the huge sets of stairs there. The museum has a lavish auditorium
similar to the display of Napoleon III's apartments in the Louvre.
