HÔTEL DE VILLE
Lieu historique et animé du Marais, le quartier de l’Hôtel de Ville se dessine comme le cœur de la capitale.
Home to municipal institutions since 1357, the splendid Hôtel de Ville building reigns supreme in the Marais district. Bordered by the rue de Rivoli on one side and the Seine on the other, its ideal location offers Parisians a spectacular meeting place. Its immense square regularly hosts events, evolving with the seasons and unveiling magical settings for each occasion.
Opposite the Hôtel de Ville monument is the BHV Marais, a former bazaar, this department stores’ made up of several buildings in a pure Haussmann style is a must for Parisians. Adorned with original shops, the district is also characterised by the famous rue de Rivoli, one of the most commercial streets in Paris.
Finally, located between the Pont Neuf and the Pont de Notre-Dame, the Quais des Gesvres and the Quais de la Mégisserie invite you to take a nice walk along the Seine. During the summer, the famous Paris Plages is held in the district, which then takes on the air of a Mediterranean coast, where sunbeds and games of pétanque are invited.
