The 9th arrondissement is one of Paris's twenty administrative divisions, known for its concentration of cultural and entertainment venues. Opéra Garnier, an ornate opera house, Musée Grévin, a wax museum, and Folies Bergère, a historic cabaret, anchor the district's attractions. The arrondissement holds particular appeal for those drawn to theatre, music, and museums.
