"The Haughty Hotel de Ville... While "haughty" may be be a little extreme, this imposing building, Paris 's City Hall, stands very proudly, indeed, in the heart of the 4th arrondissement's Marais district. Not only does Hotel de Ville serve as seat of Paris 's government, but, its grand front square is often the site of a sundry list of community and commercial events. By Shelly Morgan"

This is my second time I have visited City Hall for European Heritage days. I think this might be my favorite building in the whole world! And right now they are even having an exhibition on all sorts of Parisian photos, and a light show in the big ballroom. GORGEOUS!!!

Magnificent building. You have to go there and visit it. Since it is very close to Notre Dame de Paris, Le Châtelet, Le Centre Pompidou, each of them a must (or almost), it would be a pity to miss it. The square in front of it is also a place with interesting attractions , not only for the kids.

Such a cool city hall filled with Christmas decorations and the Paris 2024 Olympics sign. I went here twice to see both in the day and what night with the lights. They have a small ride for children there and food carts. Great place for photos.

The building looks absolutely stunning at night. Many tourists gather around to see the architecture.

I went to the Olympic games expo. Some interesting pieces like Celine Dion's dress, various Olympic artifacts. Very clean and pleasant. Almost no wait at security at the entrance. There are two Invaders to flash inside.

A really nice attraction for tourists. The square in front of it is perfect for photos. There are some places to sit around the gardens. There is also a free water fountain in front of the building. If there were more trees then it would be better.

We haven't had a chance to tour the inside yet - the outside architecture is great.
