I'm taking my wife and granddaughter to France for 11 days in May (inc travel) with at least five nights in Paris. My GD in into music, art, drama and dance and would like to see ballet or opera while there, preferably ballet. Have any of you done this on previous trips to Paris or have any knowledge of where to find these events. If so, any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. What is the appropriate attire for them? Dressy, casual, etc.? I had not planned to take dressy clothes but can if necessary.
Also, the best area to stay in Paris. We are looking for a 2–3-bedroom apartment as opposed to getting two rooms at a hotel. On other trips to Europe, we have typically rented houses, apartments, townhomes and even a farmhouse and enjoyed shopping at local markets for food to cook some of our meals where we stayed. We have been to France before, but this is our GD's first international trip, a HS graduation present for her. She will turn 19 while in Paris. Thank you.
