Place de Grève

old name of the square in front of the Paris city hall, renamed Place de l’Hôtel de Ville in 1806. It became famous by virtue of the fact that for many centuries (until 1830) it was a place of execution. It was there that the creation of a provisional government was declared during the Revolution of 1848. that the republic was proclaimed on Sept. 4, 1870. and that the proclamations of the Paris Commune were made in March 1871.
