Hotel de Ville in Paris (the Paris City Hall) is a very large building housing the city's local administrative affairs. It used to be called Place de Grève. The building has the location of the municipality of Paris since 1357. It serves multiple functions, housing the local administration, the Mayor of Paris (since 1977). It also serves as a venue for large receptions. Since its construction, the building played a key role in several political events and has been the scene of a number of historical events (for example, the proclamation of the French Third Republic in 1870 and the famous speech by Charles de Gaulle on 25 August 1944 during the Liberation of Paris when he greeted the crowd from a front window).

This is an image of Hotel de Ville (city hall) in downtown Paris. It has been the headquarters of the municipality of Paris since 1357. Today the building houses the city's local administration, and serves multiple other functions, including the Office of the Mayor of Paris, as well as a venue for large government receptions.

This images is one of a few showing some of the details adorning the façade of the Hotel de Ville (city hall) in downtown Paris. This specific section is a small part of the main tower on top of the building (the clock tower) which reads Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité, which is the national motto of France and the Republic of Haiti. Although this slogan finds its origins in the French Revolution, it was not institutionalized until the Third Republic at the end of the 19th century. It is also the motto of the Grand Orient de France and the Grande Loge de France. All images are taken with a Canon 5D III (full frame) and a Canon 7D II (crop frame) using a variety of Canon L-Series lenses, and Tamron and Sigma pro-line lenses; proces...

This is a close-up of one of the many sculptures situated at the side of one of the windows in Hotel de Ville in Paris, France. François-Marie Arouet was known by his nom de plume - Voltaire. He was a French enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher, most famous for his wit, his attacks on the established Catholic Church, and his advocacy of freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and separation of church and state. He was also a very versatile writer, producing works in almost every literary form, including plays, poems, novels, essays, and historical and scientific works. He wrote more than 20,000 letters and more than 2,000 books and pamphlets. He was an outspoken advocate of civil liberties, despite the risk this placed ...

Another image showing statues of two of the many important figures in French society (scientists of all kinds, doctors, thinkers, philosophers, politicians, leaders, etc.). These rather large statues frame every window of the Hotel de Ville (city hall) in downtown Paris, and not just the façade.

This is a close-up of one of the many sculptures situated at the side of one of the windows in Hotel de Ville in Paris, France. Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier was a French nobleman and chemist central to the 18th-century chemical revolution and had a large influence on both the history of chemistry and the history of biology. He is widely considered in popular literature as the father of modern chemistry. His great accomplishments in chemistry largely stem from his changing the science from a qualitative to a quantitative one. Lavoisier is most noted for his discovery of the role oxygen plays in combustion. He also discovered that, although matter may change its form or shape, its mass always remains the same. All the basics tha...
