In French, a hôtel de ville or
mairie is a town hall (and not a hotel!).
The Hôtel de Ville of Paris is located in the 1st arrondissement.
The building was the short-lived seat of the Paris Commune of 1871. The French Third
Republic was declared in that building.
The nearby Bazar de l'Hôtel de Ville (BHV) is a department store named after the Hôtel de
Ville.
