Hôtel de ville de Paris (Paris City Hall) represents despite the fire which heavily damaged the building during the revolt of the Paris Commune in 1871 the best from French Renaissance.

In 1533, king François I endowed the city with a Hôtel de Ville which would be worthy of the Parisians. Two architects, Dominique de Cortone, an Italian, Pierre Chambiges, French, designed this beautiful Renaissance building. Work began in 1533 and was not finished until 1628 during the reign of king Louis XIII. During the following two centuries no charges were made to the edifice. The Hôtel de ville was damaged by fire in 1871, but fortunatelly was reconstructed according to original plans in 1882 by Théodore Ballu and Édouard Deperthes.
