"L'Hôtel de Ville: A Witness to History" Step into the grandeur of L'Hôtel de Ville, a place steeped in history and adorned with engravings that tell tales of triumphs and tragedies. From the infamous Supplice de Desrues to the imposing roue en place de Grève, Bonnard's engravings capture moments frozen in time. Amongst these scenes is the haunting Assassinat de M. Flechelle engraving, a reminder of the dark underbelly that lurked within these walls. The Execution de Foulon on July 22nd, 1789, serves as a stark symbol of revolutionary justice etched forever in our collective memory. Ravaillac's execution on May 27th, 1610, depicted in an engraving from Hennin's collection transports us back to an era when regicide shook France to its core. Meanwhile, Galerie des fêtes showcases joyous celebrations held within these very halls. The Place de Grève engraving from 1778 reveals a bustling square where public spectacles unfolded before eager crowds. And who could forget M. Lamartine's impassioned speech at L'Hôtel de Ville on February 26th, 1848? His words echoed through time as he rallied the people during turbulent times. Intriguing glimpses into royal events are also captured here - "A Versailles. A Versailles. " exclaims one engraving while another depicts Queen Marie Antoinette arriving at L'Hôtel de Ville for the celebration of her son's birth in January 1782. Delve deeper into history with Cartouche à l'Hôtel de Ville avant son supplice; Bonnart's evocative engraving reminds us of darker days when justice was swift and brutal.
