Town hall of Paris 2nd arrondissement
Town hall of Paris 2nd arrondissement, Town hall in 2nd arrondissement, France
The Town Hall of the 2nd arrondissement stands at 8 Rue de la Banque, featuring protected facades, rooftops, an entrance vestibule, and a decorated wedding hall.
Architect Alphonse-François-Joseph Girard designed this municipal building in 1848, originally serving as the town hall for the 3rd arrondissement until Paris expanded in 1860.
The wedding hall contains paintings by Georges Moreau de Tours and decorative work by Charles-Gustave Huillard, representing 19th-century French artistic traditions.
The building received monument historique status on May 7, 1982, protecting its architectural elements while maintaining its function as an administrative center.
During World War II, secretary general Jacques Bidaut was arrested here for providing resistance fighters with official documents before his death at Neuengamme camp.
