As the medieval period gradually faded away, the Haussmann style arrived in France at the time of Napoleon III. The latter, dreaming of a large and beautiful capital with a chic and bourgeois look , chose Baron Haussmann to reinvent Paris in its architecture.
Thousands of buildings were then built in Paris, in the particular style emerging at the time, the Haussmann style: airy, tall buildings, with delicate and chic architectural finishes: stone facades, zinc roofs, balconies running along the length of the building... From the outside, these buildings are incredible. And Baron Haussmann did not forget to think about the interior design of his buildings.
Haussmannian architecture is also much talked about for its refined and elegant interiors, furnished with noble materials, and its moldings with perfect details. We generally find large bright rooms, solid parquet floors, marble fireplaces.
