Photos of Hôtel de Ville_515909307

The Hotel de Ville was finished in 1628, nearly a century after construction began. Currently, it houses the City of Paris's administration. The building's style is a contemporary interpretation of the Renaissance, a grand building sitting just a few minutes from the Seine. The regal inside includes crystal chandeliers and extravagant paintings. Its exterior is equally stunning, particularly at night, when the building shines with light.
