The museum idea can only last for so long. At some point, pressure will build up for changes to zoning. The city will grow, and that pressure will force departments (zoning/buildings) to modify the rules and codes.
Its happening in London, and Paris will eventually lax its requirements.
It can be done though in a manner that emphasis preservation. Not everything can be saved though but with committees and a process in terms of landmark neighborhoods and modification to those neighborhood, there needs to be a 50/50 compromise between developers and neighborhood officials. Kinda like a checks and balances system. BUT what it shouldn't be is a one sided discussion at all times. Growth is important, and stifling it, can really hurt residents.

Paris is one of the densest cities in the Western world already. They don't need to build up in central Paris.
