As part of the transformation of Paris, prefect Haussmann designed this major 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 the attribution of his name to one of the main roads which he ordered to be drilled. 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 the death of his parents on December 27, 1906.
