In the game
Paris city hall on the Place de Grève, with market stalls in front.
The real place
The Renaissance city hall in the game burned in 1871 during the Paris Commune. It was rebuilt between 1873 and 1892, closely following the old design but larger. The square in front was the Place de Grève, where public executions took place.
Visiting
The square hosts events and an ice rink in winter. Free exhibitions are often held inside; check the city's website.
