Discover the many facets of Paris at an exceptional exhibition at the Hôtel de Ville? Until October 19, 2024, we're off to discover the Paris City Hall event exhibition named: "Paris!" the capital presents itself to the world! New slots are available, so it's time to (re)discover Paris, its wealth, its culture, its events, its tragedies and everything that makes it who it is.

Hôtel de Ville presents its exceptional exhibition until October 19, 2024. "Paris! The capital presents itself to the world" is the name of this exhibition, which tells us more about the city, whether you're a Parisian, a resident of the Ile-de-France or a tourist just passing through.

The "Paris!" exhibition tells the story of the capital's last ten years. Through giant portraits by Marguerite Bornhauser on "Who are the Parisians?", an immersion into Paris by bike, street-art and a life-size school street, Paris reveals itself. We travel along the Seine, discovering heritage and cultural landmarks, and a multitude of the city's secrets, all presented in a fun and educational way.

Here, we explore the transformations of Paris, from the Notre-Dame fire to the terrorist attacks, and see how the city has adapted to new uses while maintaining its status as a world city. The motto Fluctuat Nec Mergitur takes on its full meaning in this retrospective of the capital's challenges and triumphs.
