Pay special attention to announcements for art and historical exhibitions, as they are great and free."},{"type":"text","content":"The Paris City Hall is the largest town hall in Europe and one of the most prominent landmarks of the French capital. Curiously, the first sessions of the Paris city council were held in the home of a city mayor - this practice continued until the 16th century when King Francis I ordered the construction of a town hall in accordance with the law. Exclusive Renaissance style.\n\nCenturies later, that first purpose-built edifice was used as headquarters for the French Revolution, housing Robespierre and his supporters. Ironically, Robespierre himself was arrested at the end of the infamous \"Rule of Terror,\" in which anyone who resisted the revolution was put on the guillotine.\n\nLikewise, in 1871 the Town Hall again hosted the headquarters, but this time for the Paris Commune. When their defeat was imminent and the French army closed the building, the Community set it on fire, completely destroying everything inside. The exterior was then rebuilt to the original design, but the interior had to be re-created.\n\nThe outside of the building is decorated with 108 statues of famous Parisians such as Voltaire, Rousseau, Charles Perrault, Jean-Baptiste Pigalle, and others. Thirty other statues there represent French cities. The clock in the central tower is also decorated with statues - some of the sculptures of women depicting the Seine, the city of Paris, \"Work\" and \"Education\".\n\nWhile public access to City Hall is generally limited, there are two rooms in the building that are continuously allocated for art exhibitions. One of them usually has photography and one of them - art in general. In addition, there is almost always some cultural event or exhibition taking place outside, in the square in front of the building. However, the tourist attraction that visits the Paris City Hall is definitely its architecture!"},{"type":"link","content":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%B4tel_de_Ville,_Paris"}]},{"address":"L'As du Fallafel","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":48.85739201817662,"longitude":2.359119500000002},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# L'As du Fallafel"},{"metadata":{"width":564,"height":752},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FEMF4TWgG4bRGnTmcVrjP%2Fab48f363c56668cb90dc2e67706e957e.jpg?alt=media&token=1b498fc9-d578-42e3-9a1f-09893d65c257"},{"type":"text","content":"“Come and try the best falafel in Paris,” the dark-haired man said as he pushed the menu in my hand.\n\nA glance at the flyer, I discovered it was a copy of a review published in the travel column of the New York Times.\n\nPeople stood outside the diner on the cobblestone street with scraps of paper spilling from their wrapping.\n\nWith the help of the New York Times, the small shop on rue des Rosiers, located in the heart of what was once the Jewish quarter of Paris, is trading in full swing."}]},{"address":"Rue des Francs-Bourgeois","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":48.85771291817682,"longitude":2.3606800000000216},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Rue des Francs-Bourgeois"},{"metadata":{"width":1000,"height":750},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FEMF4TWgG4bRGnTmcVrjP%2Fparis-3198200_1280.jpg?alt=media&token=c799b0f7-f6b5-4484-bebd-9557eac35308"},{"type":"text","content":"Once a street where artisan weavers worked, today the Rue des Francs-Bourgeois is a trendy design and fashion shopping district in Paris.
