One of the primary reasons for the longevity of Paris as a city is it's architecture and Baron Haussmann is solely responsible for much of that. His vision for Paris with grand' tree-lined boulevards, buildings with uniform height, wide streets and gardens made Paris not only pleasant on the eyes but easy to govern. At certain vantage points like the Arc de Triomphe, one gets the feeling that all roads lead to Paris.
