The Famous French Collection
Commonly referred to as a Baron, he was appointed by Emperor Napoleon III to carry out a massive urban renewal programme of new boulevards, parks, and public works in Paris.
Although he faced opposition from critics due to his lavish spending, the urban vision of Baron Haussmann continues to shape the heart of Paris to this day.

Inspiration for Paris's transformation came to Napoleon III during his time in London - aspiring to elevate it to a capital that could compete with the city of his uncle's captors, which had defeated and incarcerated him.
