   It spans more than 14,000 square meters
   and boasts a 50 m high bell tower.
   Its 7 km of corridors connect more than
   600 rooms, some overflowing with gold,
   paintings, and sculpture.
   This is the hotel Deville in Paris.
   Built on the banks of the sin, this
   monumental emblem of the French capital
   is twice the size of the White House.

   Jn 1
   The Hotel Deville is the largest in
   Europe.

   zalam
   Consumed by fire in 1871, the building
   was considered a total loss.
   But thanks to the ingenuity of the
   architects and builders, the Hotel
   Deville rose from its ashes to become
   one of the most prestigious places in
   the world.

   Zalam 1
   The Hotel Leville is a little bersai,

   Jn 1
   but more beautiful, bigger, more showy,
   more flashy, more sumptuous.

   The Hotel Leil acts as a showcase for
   France.

   More than 1,000 workers dedicated
   themselves to equipping the monument
   with avantgard state-of-the-art
   technology and completing it in less
   than 10 years.

   There is a challenge for Paris to assert
   itself as one of these great
   international capitals of these great
   powers rediscovered.

   How did these 19th century architects
   manage to identically recreate the
   facades of the old building while
   increasing its size?
   What techniques did they devise to
   ventilate, heat, and light such a
   gigantic space?
   What drove their unconventional choice
   of materials?

   Zalam 4
   It was a testing laboratory for new
   technologies.

   Now guided by historical experts, you
   can witness the complete reconstruction
   of the hotel Deville through
   computerenerated images and new and
   exclusive behindthe-scenes access. Come
   discover this exceptional monument as
   you have never seen it before and
   understand the secrets of its
   astonishing design.
   A unique architectural masterpiece built
   in the heart of Paris, the Hotel Deville
   is one of the most exceptional yet
   unsung mega structures of the French
   capital.
   The Hotel Deville of Paris,
   common house for the 2 million
   inhabitants of the French capital, the
   Paris Hotel Deville is a veritable hive.
   A thousand employees work there daily
   and 163 counselors sit on the Paris
   Council 11 times a year.
   An open air museum. There are 273
   sculptures on its facades.
   Organized around two interior
   courtyards, the building has 600 rooms,
   including 30,000 m of office space and
   2,300 m of reception rooms, covered by
   44,000 m of parkquet flooring.
   There are 7 km of corridors.
   At 155 m in area, the mayor’s office is
   larger than those of the president of
   the republic and the prime minister.
   Palace of all superlatives, it has
   nevertheless had a tumultuous history.
   March 1871.
   Anger rumbles in the streets of Paris.
   Besieged throughout the winter by the
   Prussians, the French capital somehow
   survived.
   After the suffering they had endured,
   the Parisians did not accept the
   armistice signed with Prussia and were
   wary of the government which had
   retreated to Versailles.
   They feared seeing the royalists return
   to power.
   In response, Paris experiences an
   insurrectionary period, the commune.
   It opposes the regular army of
   Versailles to the Parisian rioters.
   This civil war will last more than two
   months from March 18th, 1871 until the
   bloody week in May of the same year.

   04:42

   Zalam 1
   In the middle of this bloody week, the
   24th, the regular army enters Paris
   mainly from the west. It travels like a
   steamroller towards the east of Paris.
   And obviously in the middle there is the
   hotel leil. The hotel leav is the center
   of the seat of the commune. So it is the
   government of the commune. And since the
   commune is defeated since it has lost,
   well then we’re going to pursue a
   scorched earth policy. Symbolically,
   we’re going to destroy the hotel
   Deville.

   Zalam
   The hotel Deville burns for a week.

   Zalam 4
   The hotel Deville was a wooden frame. There
   were also a lot of archives. There was a
   lot of paper. So obviously that fed the
   fire.

   zalam
   Only the cut stone walls and arches
   resisted the flames fueled by the
   explosive stored in the building.
   The upper floors closest to the roof
   supported by a wooden frame collapse
   like a house of cards.

   Zalam 1
   Everything will disappear, including the
   civil status of Parisians. All the works
   of art that were inside. All that goes
   up in smoke. The ruin is impressive.
   Only walls remain.

   zalam
   On the morning of May 25th, 1871, the
   hotel Deville was nothing more than a
   blackened carcass.
   Proclaimed on September 4th, 1870 after
   the defeat of Sedan, the third republic
   will take 5 years to impose itself.
   But in Paris, the city is quickly
   acquiring representatives.
   In July 1871, the city council decided
   to rebuild the hotel Deville.

   06:30

   Zalam 1
   We refuse to keep the ruins as a sort of
   museum of horrors. We believe that it is
   not worthy of the municipality. It is
   not worthy of Paris.

   Zalam 3
   And for a little while, it was a
   question of, well, what should we do
   with it?
   Should one just try and start from
   scratch a new design, a 19th century

   design, or should one somehow pay homage
   to this rather extraordinary Renaissance
   building built in the 16th century?

   zalam
   A competition is open, the closing date
   of which is set for January 31st, 1873.

   Zalam 1
   This competition will put 69 architects
   against each other, prestigious
   architects.

   zalam
   On June 10th, 1873, the winners were
   chosen.
   They were the architects Teodor Balu and
   Edoir Death.
   The first has already worked a lot for
   the city of Paris. He restored the
   Sanjac Tower and built many churches.
   He has already collaborated with the
   second winner, Edo Deet.

   Zalam 1
   So, it’s, I dare say, a fine team. And
   above all, they probably won because
   they were completely in line with the
   competition. The competition was still
   quite restrictive.

   zalam
   If the jury has chosen their project, it
   is because it responds perfectly to the
   requirements.
   While retaining the exterior look of the
   building that burned down, the new hotel
   Deville must also be larger and more
   functional.

   Jn 2
   They asked to add approximately 1,830 m
   squared. So this was the ambiguity of
   the competition to reproduce the facade
   exactly but also to enlarge the spaces.
   So it was very ambiguous.

   zalam
   The project selected plans the removal
   of the central trapezoidal courtyards,
   the installation of spiral staircases in
   the corner of the courtyards, larger
   corner pavilions,
   the removal of 6 m from the wings on the
   facade
   and the development of leaps and bounds,
   a sort of moat surrounding the building.
   Work began in 1873.
   Basically, architects are asked to
   restore what can be restored. If certain
   sections of the facade still seem to be
   standing, this is not the case for the
   basement.
   While digging through the rubble, the
   architects made surprising discoveries.

   Zalam 1
   There are all sorts of traces of what
   was here before. a few shafts, pillars,
   a few pieces of wall. So we are in a
   kind of field of ruins which are
   weakening these old bases of the hotel.

   zalam
   the architects unearthed the foundations
   of the first hotel Deville in Paris.
   Its history dates back to the middle of
   the 13th century when Parisians began to
   organize themselves to manage the city
   and its river trade.

   Zalam 3
   These merchants who were such an
   important group within the city wanted
   to establish a headquarters where they
   could basically run the city, run the
   commune of uh Paris and that is really
   the first city hall.

   zalam
   Over time, this ancestor of the town
   hall of Paris called the Mason Opelier
   fell into ruins.
   In the 16th century, Francois I, King of
   France, decided to build a new hotel
   Deville on the same site.

   10:25

   Jn 1
   Francis I was a king who at the time was
   very modern, a builder king, and so he
   wanted a city hall naturally in the
   Renaissance style since it was the
   modern style of the time, fashionable at
   the time.

   Zalam 1
   And for that he called on an Italian
   architect that he himself chose, Dominic
   De Cortona, known as the Bugalor, the
   golden mouth. Maybe because he had a
   blonde beard. We don’t actually know.
   And this character will rebuild town
   hall. I was going to say as we know it
   today, or at least in its core.

   zalam
   The Hotel Deville designed by Bokador is
   made up of a single one-story building
   on the ground floor flanked on either
   side by twotory square pavilions.
   It has two arches. One is closed by a
   door while the other on the sand side
   remains open to allow the passage of
   pedestrians and carriages.
   The current facade on the forcourt of
   the hotel Deville is a replica of that
   of the Renaissance
   except that the entire building was
   raised and surrounded by side wings.
   Started in the middle of the 16th
   century, this Renaissance style hotel
   Deville was only finished in 1628.
   Lined with residential houses, it
   dominates the plastic, an important
   supply port for the capital.
   At the beginning of the 19th century, to
   fight against frequent flooding, a quay
   was built 6 m above the level of the
   sin.
   In the 1830s, having become too small,
   the hotel Deville underwent a
   spectacular expansion.

   12:12

   Jn 2
   The architects are going to use this
   initial core of the reborn hotel devi
   are going to build facads on the cuad on
   the rudoli and on the back of ru lab.

   zalam
   It is one of the most sumptuous palaces
   in the capital which hosts grandiose
   receptions.
   At the same time the area around the
   hotel deville is transformed
   on the forcourt. The last houses are
   raised. Since the Middle Ages, the Plast
   Deville has quadrupled in size. It
   occupies nearly 13,000 square meters,
   the equivalent of two football pitches.
   To clear its access, housemen raised
   nine streets to create the Avenue
   Victoria, 400 m long, which connects the
   Blast Chaveet to the hotel Deville in a
   straight line.

   Zalam 3
   The Avenue Victoria, which was named
   after the visitor of Queen Victoria in
   the 1850s, comes plum up from east to
   west. So you’ve got this monumental view
   of the Odell Deville in front of you so
   that you can see it to its best
   advantage.

   zalam
   This palace, which has survived the
   centuries, has not withstood the
   destruction of the commune.
   After 2 years of excavating the ruins,
   the decision is made to start from
   scratch.
   Facades that barely stand up are raised.
   Stones and retaining beams of the
   previous constructions are then
   completely cleared, found up to 6 m
   below at the level of the river sin.
   The idea of the builders is to rebuild
   from a completely smooth and non-porous
   surface.
   First step, clear the ground.
   Near the sen, the hotel deville sits on
   waterlogged ground.
   A system of pumps is therefore set up to
   clean up the base of the future
   construction.
   Second step to guarantee the water
   tightness of the new building. A
   concrete platform 1 m thick is poured
   over the entire 11,400
   m surface.
   That is more than 11,000 m cubed of
   concrete. The volume of four Olympic
   swimming pools.
   From this concrete base, the architects
   will begin to work.
   The Hotel Deville has been thought out
   down to the smallest detail as evidenced
   by these period architectural drawings
   carefully preserved in the library of
   the hotel Deville called Cay debinage.

   14:52

   Zalam 1
   It’s a series of technical drawings that
   present the different architectural
   elements,
   the different construction elements that
   will allow both the architects and the
   contractor to know what has to be done.
   So we have a facade of the hotel, the
   one that overlooks the Rudol, the
   basement and the first floor, the first
   level, which already gives us an idea of
   what the hotel deville will look like.
   And we’re at the very beginning of the
   process since it’s 1873.

   zalam
   Each plan is signed by the architects
   and served as a work order for the
   various contractors and suppliers.
   The building will be constructed of
   dressed stone.
   Materials must arrive in sufficient
   quantity so that the site does not
   experience any interruption.
   In October 1875, work on the base of the
   ground floor began.
   In July 1876, the walls of the ground
   floor and the first floor on the central
   part begin to rise.
   But new difficulties appear.

   Jn 2
   From 1876, the site stopped because the
   contractor who was responsible for the
   earthworks and masonry no longer
   provided the necessary stones.
   So, we’re going to replace him. We’re
   going to take on another contractor who
   own quaries. So, we’re going to take
   over the site and supply the site thank
   to his quaries.

   zalam
   These quaries are located in Yon.
   The extracted stones are transported by
   river to the site.
   Merchandise barges operate on the sen
   and its tributaries.
   The oat sen provides most of the
   building materials such as sand or
   brick.
   Extracted in the mines of the north, the
   coal is loaded onto barges which take
   the son canal to reach Paris.

   Zalam 2
   The natural route for transporting
   materials in the 19th century was the
   sen. We are rediscovering it today. But
   in fact, it was the main way to
   transport heavy things in the 19th
   century. These ports in fact are
   distributed along the sand. You have to
   imagine that what today constitutes two
   keys was a succession of specialized
   ports. Ports and wood for the
   construction of firewood. There are
   ports where cut stone is unloaded.

   zalam
   Thus, Burgundy wines are unloaded at
   Keri, wheat at Kedrev, and coal
   necessary for the operation of steam
   engines.
   challenge.
   The blaz de liil is located 6 m above
   the port which borders the sen.
   How do you hoist these blocks of stone
   which can weigh up to 5 tons to the
   height of the site?
   Manufacturers have a major ally, the
   jack and above all the steam engine.

   18:04

   Zalam 2
   This era is marked by a renewal of
   practices. In particular, a new
   importance given to mechanization.

   Jn 3
   Of course, it affects everything related
   to the transport of materials. It’s
   fundamental in construction transport.
   Transport to bring materials to the site
   and then transport inside the site.

   zalam
   The blocks of stone are first hoisted
   onto the quay using steam cranes which
   deposit the blocks on platform wagons
   consisting of a frame covered by an oak
   floor. They can transport blocks
   weighing up to 20 tons or the weight of
   three elephants.

   Jn 3
   They circulate on rails or overhead
   cranes and are towed by animal or human
   power.
   The stones are cut on site before being
   raised to the desired level using
   scaffolding towers.
   A semi-mobile steam engine makes it
   possible to hoist the materials to the
   desired level thanks to a belt fitted
   with a chain.
   This coupling of this horizontal
   transport and vertical transport of
   building materials on rails will
   extremely speed up construction times.

   zalam
   The project is gaining momentum. 385
   workers worked there daily in 1878,
   99 a year later, and there were nearly a thousand in 1880.
   To increase the pace, night work was
   introduced in 1874.
   The site was lit by electric light, and
   Sundays were not a day of rest.

   Zalam 1
   The idea is to go into overdrive to
   complete the town hall for the July 14th
   celebration, a new national holiday
   restored in 1880 by the third republic.
   We are in a construction site where the
   structural work will take place from
   1873 to 1882.

   zalam
   At the end of 1879, the main body of the
   building was raised to the level of the
   cornice and the eight pavilions with
   enlarged dimensions were almost
   finished.
   In 1880, we start the roof.
   A year later, the exterior facads are
   completely finished.
   The building is imposing,
   143 m long and 80 m wide.
   It is an immense rectangular
   quadrilateral bordered by four corner
   pavilions which dominate the rest of the
   building by one floor.
   The old main courtyard in the center is
   now covered. It is framed by two
   symmetrical courtyards which are entered
   through two large arcades.
   Comprising five floors, the building
   occupies a total area of 55,000 m.
   In less than 5 years, architects and
   builders have accomplished a real feat.
   Building a colossal palace of more than
   one hectare in area while carefully
   restoring the Renaissance facade of the
   Bokeador.

   21:25

   Jn 2
   The Bokador building had to remain
   visible and legible in relation to the
   additions either by raising the facade
   or by adding an additional floor. Some
   even asked for different coloring.

   zalam
   To bring out this facade, Balu and Depat
   choose to move the side wings back 6 m.
   Apart from this difference, the hotel
   Deville looks just like the one that
   burned down. The ingenuity of the
   architects will be concentrated in the
   layout of the interior spaces in order
   to make them more functional.

   Jn 2
   Baloo has positioned all these elements
   quite logically. The perfect’s
   apartments and offices were therefore
   busy facing the sy which was normal
   since it was there that the perfect
   lived and where he was called upon to
   receive visitors. So this view of the
   cyan was important
   administrative services. Therefore on
   the other side on the was easy access
   for the public.

   zalam
   Symbolically, the municipal council
   chamber, the heart of political power,
   is placed in the center of the facade of
   the book, the one that overlooks the
   forcourt.
   The reception rooms are placed at the
   back of the building and form an L-shape.
   They communicate with the office of the
   prefect of the Sen who occupies the
   function of mayor of Paris at the time.
   In 1881, inside the building, plaster
   work and partitions were completed.
   The architects will focus on the layout
   of the various rooms and lounges.
   No question this time of using wooden
   frames and floors which greatly
   contributed to the spread of fire in the
   old building.
   The architects will favor iron in the
   structure.

   Jn 3
   Iron was used previously in construction
   but in relatively small quantities
   because it was expensive. However, in
   the 19th century, its price decreases
   and we see the appearance of diversified
   metallic materials such as iron, cast
   iron or later steel which will be
   produced from processes which make it
   easier to obtain. These are the famous T
   sections, I sections etc. which give
   rise to real metal structures.

   Zalam 2
   The interest of these metal structures
   is to use elements that are mass-
   prodduced and then assembled on site.
   This obviously makes it possible to
   limit the duration of the construction
   site to the installation time.

   zalam
   These metal frames offer greater spans
   than those made of wood, which makes it
   possible to reduce the number of
   loadbearing walls and to design larger
   openings.
   Ideal for ceremonial rooms which must
   accommodate hundreds of people during
   balls or banquetss, such as the main
   ceremonial room located on the second
   floor of the west facade.
   Behind the gilding and paintings of the
   ceiling hides a metal frame.
   Rounded trusses are connected to each
   other along the length by sand pits.
   Covered with plland which accommodate
   masonry elements
   to maintain this frame that tops the
   reception hall. Hip trusses secure the
   structure to the iron floor of the upper
   floor.
   This metal vault rests on stone pillars.
   Both robust and light, it means the
   arches are open on one side.
   Both guests and servers can move around easily.

   25:25

   Zalam 4
   We are here above the reception hall,
   above the dome, above the ceiling of the
   reception hall. Here we find the
   structure with all the elements riveted together.
   We brought in sections riveted on site
   which facilitated the implementation of
   the pre-esigned elements in the factory.

   Zalam 2
   The rivet is a wonderful invention of
   the 19th century since in fact it makes
   it possible to link parts together while
   preventing them from moving. It is much
   better than bolting, but it is an
   extremely physical operation. It employs
   between three and four men since in fact
   these rivets are placed hot. One must
   hold the rivet while the other taps the
   hot rivet before it cools. It is an
   extremely physical activity.

   zalam
   These pre-fabricated iron structures are
   ubiquitous in the hotel devil, but
   carefully hidden.
   At the time, they were tolerated in
   factories, trading halls, stations, but
   not in a Republican palace.
   Their camouflage is a real mastery,
   especially in the library located on the
   fifth floor above the reception hall.

   26:43

   Zalam 1
   When you enter this reading room, even
   today, well, it feels like seeing Harry
   Potter’s house. That is to say that we
   are in a library full of woodwork,
   cracks, completely classic libraries.
   In fact, the reality is that we are in
   the presence of great modernity since
   the vaults, the arches are made of iron,
   except that it’s an iron that is hidden
   under a small wooden casing that gives
   the impression that everything is made
   of wood. The large panels that form the
   ceiling look like wood. It’s a perfect
   because it’s actually plaster. We’re in
   a structure that is completely modern,
   but we didn’t want it to be known that it is.

   zalam
   The library is a vast nave of 600 m,
   nearly 10 m high.
   To free up as much space as possible in
   the reading room and store more than
   500,000 books and manuscripts, the
   framework rests on cast iron columns
   which reduce the points of support. They
   support rafters, oblique beams which
   carry each slope of the roof.
   This frame is strong enough to support a
   zinc roof which houses glass panels in
   its central part.
   They provide the room with natural
   overhead light for the greatest comfort
   of readers.

   Jn 3
   Glass will be part of public buildings.
   We know how to produce it and at a much
   lower cost. And above all, we managed to
   have glass sheets that are larger.
   This is the main innovation.

   Zalam 2
   Towards the end of the 19th century,
   beginning of the 20th century, we put
   lighting in. We managed to have uniform
   light throughout the day by playing with
   both artificial lighting and natural lighting.

   zalam
   Particular care is given to natural light.
   as well as to the ventilation of the
   rooms.
   At that time, the fight against
   epidemics was of great concern.
   Typhus, smallox, tuberculosis, and
   chalera claimed thousands of victims.

   Jn 2
   This 19th century hygienist desire is
   omnipresent. So, 19th century
   architecture goes out of its way to try
   to fight against that.

   zalam
   Baloo and Deert will have to imagine a
   whole set of systems to make the
   building as healthy as possible.
   It must be at the same time airy, bright
   and without pockets of humidity to
   prevent it from becoming a focus of infections.

   Zalam 4
   We used to build buildings and once it
   was built we said well how are we going
   to heat it now? And so there we ran into
   problems running pipes. So everything
   was thought out at the same time as the
   reconstruction.

   Zalam 1
   We had the idea of integrating a heating
   and ventilation system into the
   architecture. That’s something very new.
   It’s what we call functional
   architecture.

   zalam
   The famous architect Viole who restored
   Notraam a few decades earlier was to
   invent a revolutionary ventilation and
   heating system.
   It is based on a vast reserve of fresh
   air which circulates in the basement.
   Built above the concrete platform, this
   basement 3 m high has many openings on
   the outside which ensures a constant
   renewal of air.
   It is therefore a huge crawl space from
   which air shafts rise in all the wings
   of the building.
   In summer, they serve as natural air conditioning.
   In winter, these wells house a heating
   system still visible in the basement.

   30:42

   Zalam 4
   So, we are here in one of the heating
   shafts of the hotel Deville.
   The recommended heating was steam.
   It was the only way to heat with a lot
   of large power rooms that were quite far
   from the point of heat supply.

   zalam
   The steam is produced by six coal fired
   boilers installed in the basement.
   The water once heated to over 100° turns
   into steam which rises to the floors via
   a piping system.

   Zalam 4
   The steam precisely that was its
   advantage didn’t damage the pipes as if
   it had been water. There was no
   mechanical impact inside since the
   pressure is very low. This allows it to
   be transported high enough.

   zalam
   This is sufficient to heat offices of
   modest dimensions which have private
   stoves.
   One problem remains, however. How to
   produce enough heat for the phenomenally
   sized second floor rooms?
   The air shafts will find a second use.
   The pipes do not go up directly to the
   floors. They first cross a set of finned
   batteries installed in the shafts 3 m
   higher.
   They increase the heat exchange service
   with the cold air coming from the
   basement.
   In contact with these fins, the air
   heats up becoming lighter. It rises in
   the ventilation shafts to the upper floors.
   This system is so efficient that it
   still works today. Even if dusty,

   32:30

   zalam 4
   it still works. We can thus heat the air
   with fairly low outside temperatures. We
   can reach 40 or 45° air temperature at
   the exit in the rooms.

   zalam
   In these huge rooms on the second floor,
   which communicate with each other and
   are plagued by drafts, an underfloor
   heating system is installed to better
   distribute the heat.

   Zalam 4
   There are four wells per room that bring
   in hot air. The hot air is diffused in
   the rooms by various grills.

   zalam
   The ventilation shafts emerge under the
   floor of the lounges, which include a
   crawl space 1.2 m high.
   Ducts transmit the hot air to the
   various grills installed on the floor.
   As for the ventilation shafts, they
   blend into the decor.

   Zalam 4
   This decoration is an oak and is based
   on the bricks which are fairly rough
   masonry. And we took the opportunity to
   make ventilation shafts that go up to
   the upper floors, which brought either
   fresh air, natural outside air for
   ventilation or heated air,

   34:06

   zalam
   transportation of materials,
   mechanization and construction
   techniques, steam heating system,
   pre-fabricated iron structure are not
   the only touches of modernity at the
   hotel Deville. It will become a
   veritable laboratory of new technologies
   from the end of the 19th century.
   Many are still in their infancy.

   Zalam 2
   Between the beginning of the
   construction of the hotel and its
   inauguration, a multitude of technical
   innovations appear in various fields uh
   affecting lifts, electricity and
   telephones which will have an impact on
   the equipment of this great building.

   zalam
   How to light this vast building?
   At the time, public street lights ran on
   gas, while in private homes, oil lamps
   or candles were used.

   Zalam 3
   In 1878, it was the first public display
   in the world of electric street lamps. I
   mean, they’re pathetic, but they were
   street lamps. Showed the future.

   zalam
   Edison’s incandescent lamp was only
   invented in 1879 and presented to the
   French at the International Electricity
   Exhibition in 1881.

   Zalam 2
   In the 19th century, there obviously was
   not a totally unified electrical
   network. On the contrary, there was a
   multitude of small networks of small
   power stations.

   zalam
   These concessions are granted to private
   companies to produce electricity and
   transport it by aerial cables drawn
   above the roofs.
   The distribution network was therefore
   fragmented and the architects quite
   simply decided to create their own
   electrical factory in 1883.
   Due to a lack of space in the basement
   of the hotel Deville, an electricity
   production plant is installed in a
   building located nearby on Rabo.
   Steam engines run electric generators
   that power batteries.
   The stored electricity is then sent by
   cable across the street.
   This complex machinery cannot at the
   time provide enough energy for the whole
   building which remains lit with gas.
   Only the ceremonial lounges and the
   prefect’s office benefit from the
   electricity ferry which literally
   dazzles the guests.

   36:55

   Zalam 4
   We arrived at the reception in the
   reception hall with a magical twinkle
   and there it was. That’s it. We were
   going towards towards the electric
   lighting and we really show the splendor
   of the receptions.

   zalam
   The hotel Deville will also be equipped
   with telephones and hydraulic elevators
   which are only at the prototype stage.

   Zalam 3
   It’s one of the first buildings apart
   from one or two hotels to install lifts
   and the lift is very new. I mean it was
   in the 1867 international exhibition in
   Paris that uh people came from New York
   and Chicago and showed the lift.

   Zalam 2
   Behind the real quality of the technical
   devices, behind the real quality of the
   materials, there is an extremely
   important faith in progress.

   zalam
   From the outside, nothing reveals this
   modernity.
   The hotel Deville is surmounted by a
   bell tower, the last architectural
   element to be built.
   It reaches a height of 50 m above the forcourt.
   Three bells weighing nearly four tons
   connected to the large clock on the
   facade tell the time for Parisians who
   have finally found their municipality.
   On July 13th, 1882, 11 years after its
   destruction under the commune, the hotel
   Deville was inaugurated.

   Zalam 3
   By 1882, it’s a functioning building.
   And I think this sort of expresses the
   importance in a city as huge as and
   international city, but also a great
   national city as well of having a
   functioning and monumental and
   impressive city hall.

   Zalam 1
   But the hotel Deville is not finished.
   In fact, it’s the structural work that’s
   finished for the interior decoration.
   There’s a huge amount of work to come
   and that will last for years. We can say
   between 1882 and 1906 for the most part.

   zalam
   For the interior decorations, the hotel
   Deville will use the aesthetic codes of
   the past.

   Zalam 1
   So, the hotel is a living paradox.
   We wanted to highlight progress.
   But at the same time, we believe in
   continuity and we have a desire for prestige.
   But prestige until then was essentially
   monarchical buildings. One thinks of the
   castles of or the imperial palaces.
   The idea is to find in the buildings in
   the hotel elements that are codes of the
   monarchy.

   zalam
   Coffford ceilings,
   fireplaces worthy of enthroning in
   castles, parket floors of precious wood
   such as rosewood or amaranth, silk
   hangings or even polychrome marble.
   We do not think about the cost.

   40:09

   Jn 1
   The living rooms are gilded with leaf.
   At the Hotel Devi, it is gold leaf,
   which is not even the case of
   Versailles.
   There are 98 Bakarat crystal chandeliers
   in the Hotel Devi in Paris, and the
   largest weighs between 450 and 500 kilos.
   So, see, it really is the will of
   the republic to do the best possible for
   the house of the people.

   zalam
   96 painters are called upon to beautify
   the municipality.

   Jn 1
   The third republic only wants classical
   artists who are representative of their time.
   All the artists present at the Paris
   Hotel are major artists of the moment
   and are very fashionable.
   The republic does not want modern
   artists. The impressionists are not at
   the hotel. No avanguardism at the Paris
   Hotel devi.

   zalam
   They exalt the work of the fields, the
   history of Paris and its struggles to
   conquer municipal freedoms, but also the
   arts and science.
   Here there is no sovereign and majesty
   or allegorories on the power of divine right.
   Republican values are nestled in the
   details as in the reception hall. a copy
   of the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles.

   Zalam 3
   You’ll notice straight away little
   homages particularly to Versailles. So,
   you know, the the famous Hall of Mirrors
   is sort of replayed in a very sort of
   Republican version, a very national
   version with all sorts of national
   insignia all the way around it.
   The gold, the splendor, the chandeliers.

   41:58
   Zalam 1
   We will find other monarchical codes
   through the monograms.
   The monograms that we see in all the
   castles, the monograms of the prince,
   the king, the queen, etc. There will be
   RF Republic Frances.
   We have for example very beautiful
   cartridges with a motto except that this
   is not the motto of a prince or the
   motto of a king. It is liberty,
   equality, fraternity. fraternity.

   zalam
   All crafts are used to decorate this
   palace.

   Jn 3
   We are going to try to rediscover old
   techniques, artal techniques that were
   used in the middle ages or that were
   used in the Renaissance and that gives
   rise in the 19th century to mosaics to
   stained glass windows which to us seem
   to us to be part of a continuity but
   which in reality are technical innovations.

   zalam
   The stained glass windows of the council
   gallery list those who have ruled Paris
   since the Middle Ages. Provosts of
   merchants, governors general, prefects
   of the sin, and since 1977, mayors of Paris.
   This gallery leads to the council chamber.
   A Republican palace, the new hotel deil
   obviously cannot reproduce a throne room.
   This is symbolically replaced in the
   center of the main facade by the meeting
   room of the municipal council.
   The elected representatives of universal
   suffrage thus take the place of the sovereigns.
   The council chamber is adorned with oak
   paneling and tapestries from Abuson, a
   former royal factory.
   The emperor Napoleon III initially
   commissioned the tapestries that still
   adorn the walls.

   44:02

   Jn 1
   Their construction was delayed. So they
   were not installed in time in the first
   hotel and therefore they survived the fire.
   And after the fire, these tapestries,
   which were not completely finished, were
   slightly modified.

   zalam
   Under the imperial eagle, it is enough
   to embroider universal suffrage to
   transform a tapestry intended for the
   emperor Napoleon III into a Republican model.
   More than 230 sculptor are involved in
   the interior and exterior decoration.
   108 statues of personalities will fill
   the niches of the facades. Choosing who
   will have this honor is a thorny question.

   Zalam 1
   We needed selection criteria. We decided
   that we would take the characters born
   in Paris that already made it possible
   to make a pre-selection to make things a
   little easier. But suddenly we discarded
   a certain number of characters who were
   already in the previous statuary of the hotel dev.

   45:11
   zalam
   An exception is made for Bkador, the
   architect of the old hotel Deville,
   Italian by birth, but he takes on the
   features of the new architect, Teodor Belu.

   Zalam 3
   They realize this is also a place of
   splendor. So they bring in the artisans,
   the artists to make this also a very
   beautiful, a hyper sort of grand setting
   as well. But a republican setting which
   shows the imperial and monarchical past
   is well and truly past and the present
   and the future is going to be republican.

   zalam
   A strategic place of power a showcase
   for France. It was understood that the
   hotel Deville could be a target in a
   war. In the 1930s a bunker was added in its bowels.

   Zalam 4
   This block house was built between the
   two wars. They felt that the period was
   troubled and that there would be a second.

   zalam
   Located in the basement under the
   courtyard of the prefect, now renamed
   Cordome, this bunker is bigger than 800
   m in size. It is protected by a huge
   concrete wall almost 2 m thick, closed
   by strong and watertight doors.
   There is a particular concern about
   chemical bombardments like those with
   mustard gas which caused devastation
   during the first world war.
   It has about 10 rooms that communicate
   with each other.

   Zalam 4
   This block house was planned for 20 25
   people and everything was made for it
   built to live there permanently. There
   was a hygienic air network, a drinking
   water network, and an electricity
   supply. So you could live there for 3
   weeks, a month without just with a
   supply while staying undercover.

   47:11

   zalam
   To renew the oxygen, a fan system is
   installed next to the bunker.
   It brings outside air which is filtered beforehand.
   Its occupants must also be able to
   communicate with the outside world. The
   block house is equipped with a telephone
   network, but also with a pneumatic
   system for sending letters
   used from the design of the building.
   The pneumatic post makes it possible to
   convey letters thanks to the energy
   produced by a pressure difference in the tubes.
   A compressor sends air into the pipes
   while a pump at the ends of the network
   sucks the air in the tubes.
   The messages are sent with an average
   speed of 40 kmh to their sender.
   In 1934, the date of construction of the
   block house, the Parisian network
   covered 427 km, enough to communicate
   with the other administrations, but it
   will not be necessary.

   Zalam 4
   The block house has never been used. No
   one has ever been confined, if I may say so.

   zalam
   Paris was not bombed. And it was at the
   hotel Deville on August 25th, 1944 that
   General De Gaul gave his famous speech
   to celebrate the liberation of Paris.
   A liberated Paris finds peace and the
   hotel Deville fulfills its vocation of
   reception and showcase for the whole of France.

   49:02

   Zalam 1
   In the hotel Deville, we have a
   constant. It is that the hotel is also
   designed to receive, to welcome, and to
   welcome great people.

   Jn 1
   Queen Elizabeth Nelson Mandela.
   There were very important people who
   came to the hotel Devi.
   Any head of state received by the
   president of the French Republic for a
   state visit is received by the mayor of
   Paris at the hotel levi in Paris. This
   is also the case for the president of
   the French Republic. After his election,
   it is customary for him to be received
   at the hotel levi.

   zalam
   These prestigious guests take the escaladon.
   They access it through the vestibule def
   which forms the lower landing.
   Built parallel to the main facads of the
   hotel Leville, this double flight
   staircase leads to the reception rooms.
   Topped by a barrel vault, it is designed
   to dazzle visitors.
   Every year the hotel Deville hosts
   between 400 and 600 receptions and conferences.

   50:38

   Jn 1
   It’s a living building and that’s the objective.
   It is a building that is wellmaintained.
   There have been many restorations, improvements.
   The lighting of the party hall, it has
   been modernized and therefore we hav
   lighting that can vary in color and
   which highlights the ceiling of the
   reception hall in a rather surprising way.

   zalam
   No need for an invitation to enjoy the
   entertainment on the forcourt.

   Zalam 3
   It’s still a sort of place of
   festivities. They have the big TV
   screens for the World Cup or the tour to
   France or whatever. They do ice skating
   in the winter. So, that’s a tradition
   with some sort of continuity.

   zalam
   Since its inauguration in 1882, the
   hotel dearie has not undergone any major
   architectural transformations.
   Although the building is not listed as a
   whole, certain rooms are listed in the
   inventory of historic monuments such as
   the council chamber, the library, and

   the reception rooms.
   It is possible to visit this sumptuous
   Republican palace by appointment or
   during heritage days.
   Its forcourt remains a focal point of
   Parisian social life.
