About:
Boulevard Haussmann is a Parisian thoroughfare located in The 8th and 9th arrondissements in Paris.
2,530 meters long (1.57 miles), Boulevard Haussmann crosses the districts of Madeleine, Europe, Faubourg-du-Roule, Faubourg-Montmartre, and Chaussée-d'Antin located in the 9th and 8th arrondissements of Paris and connects, to the east, the intersection of Boulevard des Italiens and Boulevard Montmartre, where the Richelieu-Drouot metro station is located, to avenue de Friedland which extends it to the west.
This boulevard bears the name of Baron Georges Eugène Haussmann (1809-1891), a French administrator and politician who led the transformations of Paris under the Second Empire as prefect of the Seine. As part of the transformation of Paris, Prefect Haussmann designed this important traffic axis as a diagonal path linking the Grands Boulevards to that of the Farmers General wall. Haussmann saw his activity rewarded during his lifetime by attributing his name to one of the main roads on which he ordered the drilling. However, the boulevard was not completed until well after his death. It was only in 1926 that Boulevard Haussmann, after twenty years of work, finally joined Boulevard des Italiens.
Remarkable buildings and places of memory on the boulevard:
No 31: the building where Gustave Caillebotte lived from 1878 to 1887.
No 40: Galeries Lafayette Haussmann Department Store.
No. 64: Printemps Haussmann Department Store.
No 102: Marcel Proust (1871-1922) moved into this building after his parents' death on December 27, 1906. He lived there until 1919 and wrote: "In Search of Lost Time."
No. 136: fictional headquarters of SPECTER in the James Bond novel Thunderball.
Nos 158-158 bis: Jacquemart-André Museum.
No 165: location of the Jean Pascaud gallery during the 1930s.
