This masterpiece was designed by Charles Garnier for the Emperor Napoleon III, but its construction was hampered by an abnormally high water table. This difficulty was overcome by creating a network of tanks to manage water. This is how the legend of a mysterious underground lake was born under the Garnier Opera.
