Follow in the Parisian footsteps of Baron Haussmann

27 March marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Baron Haussmann, the French civic planner who modernised Paris. His urban reconstruction included laying out the Bois de Boulogne, the wide boulevards radiating out from the Arc de Triomphe, grand squares and green spaces.

For those who want to check out his legacy, hotel specialist HotelConnect features a large quantity of hotels in Paris ranging from two to five-star.

A steal at £60 per person for three nights (saving £30 each with a special three-nights-for-the-price-of-two offer) is the three-star Quality Inn Nanterre La Defense Hotel, located in the west of the city and just a 15-minute train ride from the centre.

Or, for those who can afford to splurge, a deluxe room at the four-star superior Victoria Palace oozes old-fashioned elegance, with marble bathrooms and traditional décor. Set between Montparnasse and St Germain, this is a great location and costs £228 per person for three nights (saving £114 each with a special three-nights-for-the-price-of-two offer).

The above twin-share prices include breakfast and are valid for breaks taken before 31 March.
