This beautiful renaissance building was erected between 1533 and 1628. During the Revolution of 1871 it was burnt down and completely gutted. It rose from its ashes only eleven years later. Today it is the official residence of the mayor of Paris, as well as the place where the city administration convenes. The reception rooms with their opulent ornamentation are exceptionally beautiful.
