The Hotel de Ville is still used as the City Hall today.Īlso, I just wanted to point out that the square outside of City Hall was enlarged by Baron Haussmann because he went about changing and modernizing just about everywhere in central Paris. It’s also similar to regulations in some historic districts. I think it’s interesting how they used this technique to preserve the facade of the original building, showing that even back then history and old architecture was valued at least to a degree. Théodore Ballu and Edouard Deperthes won with the idea of rebuilding the exterior of the building as it was (I think the tour guide said they c hanged it slightly to take up less room?), but using a new design for the interior. Once the government regained control, they held a competition for the re-design of the building (just like with the Opera-I guess that was a popular strategy). In 1871, it was occupied by revolters who subsequently burned it down. ![]() The initial City Hall was constructed between 15. Still, it gave the impression of the power and wealth of France, as was likely the purpose for the Second Empire design.īecause I was unfortunately unable to learn too much during the tour, I did a little research to try and fill the gaps. I could definitely see similarities between it and Versailles and the Opera, yet it seemed less overwhelming (perhaps it’s simply because I’m too used to grandeur from the other two visits?). It was grand with arches with columns, gold, stained glass windows, painted ceilings, and chandeliers. That’s pretty cool and the architecture was beautiful, but I was pretty bored from at first trying to understand the tour guide and only understanding a few words here and there, then I gave up and took in the architecture. Jenna summarized part of it and I learned that it is the City Hall, it was burned during the Revolution and had to be built, and that it was one of the first buildings to have electricity. Today, a group of us went with MICEFA to tour the Hotel de Ville (City Hall).
