Le premier Hôtel de Ville de Paris fut édifié en lieu et place de l'ancienne "Maison aux Piliers" d'Etienne Marcel, premier centre des institutions municipales de Paris à compter de 1357.
Achevé en 1628 sous le règne de Louis XIII, ce Palais fut un lieu politique important. Il abrita entre autres le Comité de Salut public entre 1792 et 1794, ainsi que le gouvernement provisoire de Lafayette après la chute de Charles X en 1830.
Le 28 mars 1871, après la défaite de Napoléon III contre la Prusse, le peuple de Paris s'insurge contre le régime et envahit l'Hôtel de Ville. C'est le début de la Commune. Les insurgés en furent rapidement chassés. Cependant, durant la semaine sanglante (22-28 Mai), un certain nombres de monuments Parisiens seront délibérément incendiés par les Communards et en particulier tout ceux qui possédaient un rapport avec l'image du pouvoir. Ce fut le cas de l'Hôtel de Ville qui brûla le 24 Mai. Avec cet incendie, les archives et la bibliothèque de l'hôtel de ville partiront également en fumée.
Les deux collections d'État civil parisien antérieures à 1860 seront également perdues à jamais: la première demeurait dans l'hôtel de ville et la deuxième dans le palais de justice (qui fut également incendié). Suite à cet incendie, l'Hôtel de Ville de Paris était détruit à un point tel que ses ruines ne pouvaient pas être utilisées pour la reconstruction. C'est donc un monument entièrement nouveau qui fut élevé de 1874 à 1882.
The first City Hall of Paris was built in place of the old "House of the Pillars" of Etienne Marcel, the first center of municipal institutions in Paris from 1357.
Completed in 1628 during the reign of Louis XIII, the Palace was an important political place. It housed the Comité de Salut Public during French Revolution between 1792 and 1794 and the provisional government of Lafayette after the fall of Charles X in 1830.
March 28, 1871, after the defeat of Napoleon III against Prussia, the people of Paris rebelled against the regime and invaded the City Hall. This is the beginning of the Commune. The insurgents were soon driven out. However, during the Bloody Week (22-28 May), a certain number of monuments Parisians are deliberately burned by the Communards and especially all those who had a relationship with the government's image. This was the case of the Town Hall that burned on May 24. With this fire, archives and library of the town hall will also leave in smoke.
The two collections of State Civil Paris prior to 1860 will also be lost forever: the first lived in the town hall and the second in the courthouse (which was also burned). Following the fire, the Hotel de Ville in Paris was destroyed to such an extent that its ruins could not be used for reconstruction. This is an entirely new monument was erected from 1874 to 1882.
