City Hall Hôtel de Ville Paris France
The Hôtel de Ville (French pronunciation: [otɛl də vil], City Hall) in Paris, France, is the building housing the city's local administration, standing on the place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville in the 4th arrondissement. The south wing was originally constructed by François I beginning in 1535 until 1551. The north wing was built by Henry IV and Louis XIII between 1605 and 1628.[1]It was burned by the Paris Commune, along with all the city archives that it contained, during the Commune's final days in May 1871.[2] The outside was rebuilt following the original design, but larger, between 1874 and 1882, while the inside was considerably modified. It has been the headquarters of the municipality of Paris since 1357. It serves multiple functions, housing the local administration, the Mayor of Paris (since 1977), and also serves as a venue for large receptions.

Wonderful beyond wonderful Wayne; love your camera angle and your ability to include the entire city hall in the frame. This was by far one of the most beautiful buildings in Paris that I have photographed (with almost every statue beside almost every window). Well done my friend.
