Boulevard Haussmann

Boulevard Haussmann is one of the most elegant in Paris. It stretches more than 2 kilometers from the Avenue de Friedland (near the Champs-Elysées) to the Boulevard Montmartre (close to the Grévin museum) and crosses several districts of the 8th and 9th arrondissements. The most dynamic part begins on Place Saint-Augustin and its imposing church and ends at the department stores of Printemps and Galeries Lafayette, passing by the Opéra Garnier. The activity is intense and bankers, shoppers or moviegoers and tourists constantly meet. On the quieter side of the boulevard, at number 158, is the Jacquemart-André museum, dedicated to the fine arts and decorative arts, planning large-scale exhibitions all year long. It is also while strolling on this artery that we can admire the most beautiful Haussmannian facades of Paris as well as many remarkable buildings.
