For the Journées du Patrimoine 2023, the Hôtel de Ville de Paris is exceptionally opening its doors for free tours (registration required). Join us on Saturday and Sunday, September 16 and 17, 2023, to discover the office of the Mayor of Paris, the Hôtel de Ville library, the Council Chamber, the ceremonial lounges and the Paris Rendez-Vous boutique.

If you've never been inside theHôtel de Ville de Paris, then take advantage of the Journées du Patrimoine 2023 to do so. Although the building only dates back to 1882, it's a jewel of Parisian heritage, classified as a historic monument and located right in the heart of the capital.

Indeed, theHôtel de Ville de Paris had to be rebuilt after a fire in 1871. Architects Théodore Ballu and Deperthes achieved the feat of reproducing the old Hôtel de Ville in less than ten years, with major improvements. TheHôtel de Ville de Paris became the most modern public building of its time. It was connected to electricity and the telephone, and equipped with central heating and elevators.

Every year in September, theHôtel de Ville de Paris takes part in the European Heritage Days. On September 16 and 17, 2023, you'll have the opportunity to enter this key Parisian landmark and learn more about the building.

Take a stroll through the richly decorated reception rooms of the Hôtel de Ville, as well as the famous Paris Council chamber and the office of the Mayor of Paris. Admire the architecture, furniture and works of art, such as the model of the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle! And don't miss the heritage library, the salons d'apparat, where a staging of an official reception will be unveiled, not forgetting the Paris Rendez-Vous boutique.
