Hôtel de Ville (French pronunciation:[otɛldəvil]ⓘ, literally "City Hall") is arapid transit station on lines1 and11 of theParis Métro. It is named after the nearbyHôtel de Ville de Paris (City Hall) and is located within thefourth arrondissement of Paris.
Hôtel de Ville is one of the eight original stations opened as part of the first stage of line 1 betweenPorte de Vincennes andPorte Maillot on 19 July 1900.[1]: 15 The line 11 platforms opened as part of the original section of the line fromChâtelet toPorte des Lilas on 28 April 1935.[1]: 34 During the same decade, the platforms of line 1 were extended to 105 metres to cater for 7-car trains which ultimately did not materialise.
A plaque near the platforms of line 1 marks the 50th anniversary of the strike organised by 3,000 employees of theCompagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP), the operator of the métro then, on 16 August 1944 against theNazis during theoccupation of Paris and was triggered by the French Forces toliberate the capital.
In 1974, the originalGuimard entrance at rue de Lobau was moved toAbbesses, and is one of the only two remaining glass-covered "dragonfly" entrances, known asédicules (the other is atPorte Dauphine). It was listed as a historical monument on 25 July 1965.
As part of the "Un métro + beau" programme by theRATP, the platforms of line 11 were renovated and modernised on 2005.[2]
During the automation of line 1, the platforms of line 1 had undergone a series of upgrades. Over the weekend of 21–22 March 2009, its platforms were closed to raise its platform levels for the installationplatform edge doors to improve passenger safety and for automation which were done in April 2010. During the construction period, the platforms of line 11 remained open, allowing for westward travel to Châtelet, where a transfer to line 1 was possible.[3] The line was fully automated in December 2012.
As part of modernization works for the extension of Line 11 toRosny–Bois-Perrier in 2023 for theGrand Paris Express, the station was closed from 8 September 2018 to 12 October 2018 to raise its platform levels and its surface tiled to accommodate the new rolling stock that will be used (MP 14) to accommodate the expected increase in passengers and to improve the station's accessibility.[4] From 18 March 2019 to 16 December 2019, the station acted as line 11's western terminus when its original terminus,Châtelet, was closed for 9 months to lengthen the platforms to cater for 5-car trains as it could only cater for 4 at the time. Hence, trains arrived and departed from the western platform, usually used for trains heading toChâtelet, with the other platform temporarily not in use.[5] On 11 December 2020, an additional entrance was opened at rue du Temple.[6]
In 2019, the station was used by 12 307 363 passengers, making it the 11th busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.[7]
In 2020, the station was used by 5,673,100 passengers amidst theCOVID-19 pandemic, making it the 13th busiest of the Métro network out of 305 stations.[8]
The station has 7 entrances:

Both have a standard configuration with two tracks surrounded by two side platforms.
The station of line 1 is established at ground level. The ceiling is made of a metal deck, whose beams, painted white for the most part, are supported by vertical walls. However, the western extension of the station built in the 1930s for a hypothetical switch from the line to seven-car trains (eventually abandoned), has a reinforced concrete ceiling, also painted white. A fresco bringing together all the cultural descriptions is presented on them. It was regularly replaced by thematic or topical frescoes. This cultural development is combined with a specific variation of theAndreu-Motte style in the colours of the city of Paris with two blue light bars and "shell" seats, typical of theMotte style, red and blue. White flat tiles of varying sizes cover the walks in an inclined and staggered arrangement, as well as the tunnel exits, where they are placed vertically and aligned. The name of the station was inscribed in blue capital letters on protruding transparent plates until 2018 when these were replaced by enamelled plaques inParisine font. The platforms are equipped with half-height platform screen doors and are free of advertising.
On line 11, the vault is elliptical. The decoration is in the style used for the majority of metro stations. The lighting canopies are white and rounded in theGaudin style of theRenouveau du métro of the 2000s, and the beveled white ceramic tiles cover the walls, the vault and the tunnel exits. The advertising frames are made of honey-coloured earthenware with vegetable motifs, and the name of the station is also incorporated into the earthenware in the interwar style of the originalCompagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris. The platforms are tiled in anthracite grey and the seats, in theMotte style, are blue.
The station is also served by lines 38, 67, 69, 70, 72, 74, 76, and 96 of theRATP bus network, and at night, by lines N11, N16, and N21Noctilien bus network.[9]
