The history of the Hotel de Ville, as is the case with much of Paris, is long and complex, with appearances in several major chapters of the city's history. Your short term apartment rentals in Paris gives you the opportunity to step into this story book, and create a small chapter of your own in this magical place. The original City Hall was conceived in 1533 by King Francis I, and intended to reflect the grandeur of what was at the time the largest city in Christendom.
Frenchman Pierre Chambiges and Italian Dominique de Cortone were appointed to design the edifice in the spirit of the Renaissance. It was created to be refined and full of light, and construction continued until 1628 and the reign of Louis XIII.
The original Hotel de Ville was burned down by the Communards in 1871, and as a result a new one had to be created. The winners of a design competition were architects Ballu and Deperthes, who created a more lavish, and far larger replica to replace the original. Striking white stone was used for creation of part of it, similar to the stone used for the Montmartre's famous Sacred Heart basilica.
Architecture enthusiasts will find interesting that the architect Ballu also created the Church of the Trinity (La Trinité), located in the 9th district. He also created the belfry of the town hall located across from the Louvre's east façade in the 1st district.
The Hotel de Ville has served as the backdrop of many notable events, and even scandals, over the years. The proclamation creating the Third Republic of France was read here, and Charles de Gaulle greeted crowds here with a famous speech during Paris' Liberation on August 25, 1944.
During the government of Jacques Chirac, City Hall was the center point of a scandal involving jobs illegally given to Chicac's supporters and a lavish entertainment budget.
As this is the very heart of central Paris, there's much to see and do, and your rental Paris 4th district Hotel de Ville puts you squarely in the middle of the fun.
Shopping is just the beginning.

The lower Marais here is one of Paris' most fashionable areas. There are many cultural institutions nearby to enjoy, such as the Pompidou Center, which houses one of Europe's largest collections of modern art.
For a more spiritual tour of Paris, the famous Notre Dame Cathedral is a mere walk away, as are many medieval churches and spiritual landmarks. You'll find many beautiful walks are possible from your charming new apartment rentals in Paris or apartment rental in Hotel de Ville quarter - Paris.
