The City Hall is revealed
Between 1880 and 1886, the new town hall of Pantin was erected as a palace of the people. It is part of the Île-de-France movement to exalt the values of the young Third Republic, as between 1876 and 1908, forty new city halls were built in a small crown.
The building underwent several restoration campaigns during the 20th century, before being classified as a historic monument in 2017.
The last restoration in 2021 gave it back all its exterior shine.
To celebrate the 140 years of its inauguration, the city hall opens its doors and hidden spaces, in a joyful and festive atmosphere.
