During my last trip to Paris, I had the luck to have a private tour of the inside of Paris Town Hall, places normally closed to the public... All shots are handheld. I thought I wouldn't be allowed to take any picture inside, so I had limited gear with me...

The city council room

It was completly destroyed by fire in 1871... Reconstruction took place between 1873 and 1892...
