Paris City Hall |
|
The Paris City Hall (Hotel de Ville de Paris) has been a center of political life in Paris for centuries. The Paris City Hall was rebuilt after the 16th century original building was set to fire during the 1870 Parisian revolution. During the Middle Ages, people sentenced to death were hung on the Hotel de Ville square in front of the city hall. This square is now peaceful and decorated with fountains. Is'nt it nicer today? |
