There was a hot debate about the Louvre pyramid back when it was built. Many people opposed it on political grounds (it was a vanity project of the then president, the Socialist Mitterand), some on the grounds that is was utterly expensive, others because they though it would disfigure the site of the Louvre palace. Probably nowadays there would be an outcry if another president planned to remove it.

Did anyone die trying to build the Eiffel Tower?
Paris itself was hardly bombed during thew second world war. This was due to the fact that Germany conquered it and so it was not bombed by the Germans. The English didn't bomb it either as the French were their allies. This is why many of the buildings are in such a good state and the traditional architecture still remains.
