| Before you look at buying a Paris property you should learn as much as you can about the city. Victor Hugo said in 1881 “All that can be found anywhere can be found in Paris”. What a fantastic complement for a city that comprises of so much architectural variety. If it is choice you are looking for in your Paris property hunt then this city gives it to you by the Chanel bag load. Paris is a walled city dating back to 52BC. Traces of architecture from as far back as the Romans can still be found such as the Rue Saint-Jacques Roman road and the Gothic Notre Dame cathedral. Napoleon III had his Baron Haussmann redesign the entire city in the mid nineteenth century to the now instantly recognisable geometrical boulevards lined with rows of grey bourgeois residences that are the hallmark of Paris. Monumental architecture forms a backdrop to Parisian street life, the most notable being the Arc de Triomphe, Louvre and Eiffel Tower. However there has been a trend of breaking the architectural moulds in Paris with the later addition of such buildings as the Pompidou Centre and La Defense. One of the most original uses of modern architecture and design is in the Metro system. The underground train network that connects the city was designed by Hector Guimard in 1900. The Art Nouveau entrances are iconic symbols of Paris, and 83 survive. The Art Nouveau style can still be found in may buildings in the city if this is what you are looking for from your Paris Property. Most streets in Paris consist of a range of buildings from various centuries and architectural styles. Older buildings, such as palaces, have modernised allowing for redevelopment into apartments and offices.
