The Hôtel de Ville (French for "City Hall") in Paris, France, is the building housing the City of Paris's administration. Standing on the place de l'Hôtel de Ville (formerly the place de Grève) in the city's IVe arrondissement, it has been the location of the municipality of Paris since 1357.
Les Halles is an area of Paris, France, located in the 1st arrondissement. It is named for the large central wholesale marketplace, which was demolished in 1971, to be replaced with an underground modern shopping precinct, the Forum des Halles. Beneath this lies the underground station Châtelet-Les-Halles, central hub of Paris's express urban rail system, the RER.
Before the French Revolution, the municipality of Paris was headed by the provost of the merchants (prévôt des marchands). The first mayor of Paris (French: maire de Paris) was elected following the storming of the Bastille.
Centre Georges Pompidou (constructed 1971–1977 and known as the Pompidou Centre in English) is a complex in the Beaubourg area of the IVe arrondissement of Paris, near Les Halles and the Marais. It houses the Bibliothèque publique d'information, a vast public library, the Musée National d'Art Moderne, and IRCAM, a centre for music and acoustic research.
Châtelet - Les Halles (pronounced /at()l le al/) is a major commuter train hub in Paris. Taken together with the Paris Métro stations Châtelet and Les Halles, to which it is directly connected, it is the world's largest underground station and subway station.
