Boulevard Haussmann
Opéra / Champs-Élysées, Paris
A Preview
"The street sign on the corner says Boulevard Haussmann. Say it OHS-mahn — and remember it, because the man it's named after is the reason this street exists, and that building exists, and most of what you'll see today exists. In eighteen fifty-three, Paris was still a medieval city. Streets so narrow two carts couldn't pass. Open sewage running down the middle."
