Haussmann style, the perfect backdrop for all your events

13 November 2020

The Haussmann style is part of Paris’ identity. It is a major contributor to the capital’s cachet, and continues to attract tourists, who never tire of admiring the elegant alignments of Haussmann façades. But Haussmann’s aesthetic appeal is not limited to tourists: it also inspires photographers and film directors, and is an ideal backdrop for events.

Haussmann’s Paris, the best addresses for events

In Paris, Haussmann-style buildings make up 60% of the real estate stock. In other words, the 40,000 homes built under the impetus of Baron Haussmann set the architectural style for the capital. We’re not going to regret it, having already organized so many events in apartments of this style. We still love these beautiful carved stone facades, pushing open the heavy wooden doors with their copper handles, and taking the wide staircases leading up to the apartments where we host some of Paris’s finest events.

L’Haussmannien, perfect spaces for your events

The Haussmannian style is all about spaciousness, allowing you to imagine beautiful settings. These spacious apartments offer a smooth flow of traffic and can accommodate large numbers of guests. The large openings to the outside offer magnificent views of the capital’s most beautiful districts. It’s a whole atmosphere that’s hard to sum up in a few words, but it has the power to seduce immediately, which is already a guarantee of success for an event.

In the light of Haussmann apartments, exceptional showrooms

Light is omnipresent in Haussmann apartments. It bursts out of the large windows, illuminating rooms widely and having the power to embellish everything it envelops. Even the grayest day in November can’t overshadow it; it’s at home, everywhere. The Haussmann style inspires interior designers, who often choose to open up the walls, allowing light to circulate even more freely. These spaces, with their blend of tradition and modernity, are the perfect backdrops for showrooms and ephemeral stores for major brands, helping to write their storytelling.

The Haussmannian style, a very special atmosphere for your events

The high ceilings adorned with moldings, the imperfect reflection of slightly pitted mirrors, the gilded frame of the overmantels above the marble fireplaces, the slight creaking of the Herringbone parquet under the footsteps of visitors – the Haussmann style is made up of all these little details that contribute to creating the very special atmosphere that we love so much and that we’ll be so happy to share with you!

Make It Happen loves Haussmannian style! We can provide you with one of these beautiful spaces for your next event, in the Triangle d’Or, a fashion mecca, close to avenues Montaigne and Georges V, or opposite the Jardin des Tuileries, a stone’s throw from Place Vendôme, the home of French haute joaillerie.
