Comment

Since 1357, the Hôtel de Ville de Paris has been the seat of the Parisian municipality. The current building, in neo-Renaissance style, was rebuilt by the architects Théodore Ballu and Edouard Deperthes on the site of the former City Hall, burned during the Paris Commune in 1871. It is possible to visit the City Hall, a place of power and prestige. Guided tours, upon reservation, are organized by the Service du Protocole. Visitors can discover the Salle des Fêtes, designed as a replica of the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles. Large free exhibitions are also organized and meet with great success.
