In front of the importance of Paris, on the political level, financier and trader, king wishes to keep the control of Paris, he grants middle-class person's privileges of king and grants favors to the Hanse of the traders of the water which is so imperative with other corporations as a political power. He obtains from this fact a head office, the visiting room of the traders, a commercial court and the right to raise the tax. In 1258, Saint-Louis removes the provostship of the hands of the traders and confides it to a close relation, Étienne Boileau. In 1263, the Hanse of the traders elects a first municipality compound of a provost of the traders, whose name we ignore.

 This powerful corporation of Nautes or the Traders of the water possesses skills limited to the commercial domain and was a holder of the monopoly of the supply by waterway. The provost of the traders, assisted by four aldermen, took care of the supply of the city, the public works, the plate of the taxes and had the jurisdiction on the river business. In the Middle Ages, the traders trained an association and had given themselves a regulation which they discussed in the visiting room of the traders and which they asked a provost to make apply.

Leave to the discovery of the blazons of Paris and follow its currency " Fluctuat nec mergitur ", what means " He is beaten by streams, but does not sink ". Its balson evokes Scilicet, vessel and symbol of the powerful corporation of Nautes or the Traders of the water, manager of the municipality in the Middle Age. Its complete representation, it also contains the decorations that the city was authorized to make represent in its coats of arms, the Legion of Honour (decree of October 9th, 1900), the Croix de guerre 1914-1918 (decree of July 28th, 1919) and the cross of the Liberation (decree of March 24th, 1945). It is surmounted by a wall golden crown in five towers, and framed in right hand of a branch of oak and in sénestre of one of laurel. The currency is classically registered down. The blazon of Paris, under its current shape, date of 1358, time when king Charles V gave the leader sowed with flowers of lily. A nef, or a vessel, appear to have been of any time the symbol of the corporation of the traders of the water, which gave then birth to the municipality of Paris. It was necessary to wait for the First Empire so that cities are again officially authorized to be equipped with coats of arms. We find himit on numerous Parisian public equipments, among which the city hall, the city halls of district, the Parisian stations, bridges, schools and Parisian schools, fountains Wallace, theatre publicity displays and the other Parisian urban furnitures.

The booksellers of Paris are booksellers of books old and second-hand, present on a big part of banks of the Seine. According to the article 9 of the municipal by-law of October 1st, 1993, signed by Jacques Chirac, boxes used by the secondhand booksellers will have to be of a model approved by the Administration presenting an outside template determined by the dimensions below, for a maximal length of 8,60 m. The tradition of the secondhand booksellers begins near the XVIè century with small traders peddlers. Under the pressure of the booksellers, a regulation of 1649 forbids the portable shops and the display of books on the Bridge "Pont Neuf". The power in the time was rather worried of limiting the not censored parallel markets. The itinerant booksellers are thus, according to period, hunted then reinstated under enjoyments. In 1859, concessions are organized by the city of Paris and the secondhand booksellers can become established in fixed points. Each is entitled 10 meters away from rail for an annual right of 26,35 F tolerance and 25 F of franchise tax. Openings are made of the rise at sunset. Finally, it is in 1930 when the dimensions of "boxes" are fixed. Installed on more than three kilometers along the Seine and registered on the UNESCO world heritage in 1991, 240 Parisian secondhand booksellers exploit 900 " green boxes " where are about explained 300 000 second-hand old books and one very large number of magazines, stamps and cards of collection.

The main bridges of Paris were created or reconstructed during the XIXth century. Because at that time, any important architecture contained a decorative program, most of them were decorated with statues. All, or almost, are still ready forming a set which deserves to be better known. Source: city hall of Paris

There used not to be a quay here, just the shore that sloped gently from Place de l'Hôtel de Ville to the Seine. The place was called 'Place de Grève' (Shore Square) until the nineteenth century and was for a long time the scene of executions and the place where journeyman were hired by the Seine boatmen. This stop is the one for a likeable and historical part of the Paris. The Marais, Saint-Paul and Saint-Gervais are surviving areas where old houses look out on to the last cobbled lanes. But that's enough of the past. With the Pompidou Centre (Beaubourg), the Picasso Museum, boutiques, eclectic bars of all persuasions and the lively Jewish quarter, the port at Hôtel de Ville also feels the vibrations of modernism.

Étienne Boileau whose statue is situated on the 1st floor to the left of the central detached house was named provost of the traders of Paris by 1261 by king Louis IX who had completely reorganized the administration of Paris.

The facade, of style neorevival, is widely inspired by that of the disappeared building. It is ornamented by striking persons of the city of Paris, artists, scholars, politicians, manufacturers. The former city hall enlarged under Louis-Philippe had already been decorated with statues in foot representing the illustrious men of the capital. They were destroyed for the greater part during the Municipality of Paris. After the reconstruction of the City hall, in more important dimensions, new statues, much more numerous, are commanded to decorate facades and inner courtyards.

The provostship of Étienne Marcel marked the peak of the political role of the provost. After his failure, the powers of the provostship were decreased, then, in 1383 after the revolt of Maillotins, this one was deleted and united with the provostship(military police) of Paris; the jurisdictions of the jobs were then dissolved.

The bridge Marie makes the object of a classification in conformance with historic monuments since February 10th, 1887. Constructed from 1614 till 1635. This building dates the XXVIIè century, what makes it one of the oldest bridges of Paris. Realized to follow the urbanization of the island Saint-Louis, its construction spreads out over 20 years, since 1614 until 1635. By that time, it is opened to the traffic. Fifty houses are then built on the bridge by the carpenter Claude Dublet. In 1658, the Seine in flood takes both south arcs with twenty houses which surmount them. In 1660, a wooden bridge restores the traffic. The stone construction begins only in 1677 after the intervention of Colbert. In 1769, any construction of house on bridges is forbidden.

The Pont d'Arcole is a bridge in Paris over the River Seine. It is served by the Metro station Hôtel de Ville. HistoryThe need for a bridge communicating between place de Grève (now Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville) and the île de la Cité had been felt for years. Called the passerelle de Grève for the first two years of its life, its present name - according to the most generally accepted hypothesis - comes from the Battle of the Bridge of Arcole, in which Napoleon defeated the Austrians in 1796. It was only in 1828 that a suspension bridge for pedestrians with two 6m-wide carriageways, supported from a central pier in midstream, was built by Marc Seguin. In 1854, with increased traffic due to the prolongation of the rue de Rivoli, it was replaced by a more substantial metal structure that could also be used by vehicular traffic. The pont d'Arcole was built to the plans of Alphonse Oudry (1819–1869), retired Ingénieur des Ponts et Chaussées and his partner Nicolas Cadiat; the structure was innovative in that it was the first unsupported bridge across the Seine to be made entirely in wrought iron rather than cast iron. The low arch, only lightly cambered, was also innovative, and on 16 February 1888 it suddenly sagged by 20 cm and had to be consolidated. It was only between 1994 and 1995 that the city council made overall repairs to the bridge's roadways, reviewing its waterproofing and paintwork at the same time.The bridge is also historically notable in that it was over this bridge that the first tanks of Général Leclerc's 2nd Armored Division rolled on their way to the place de l'hôtel de ville during the Liberation of Paris in August 1944.

The Pont Notre-Dame is a bridge that crosses the Seine in Paris, France linking the quai de Gesvres on the Rive Droite with the quai de la Corse on the Île de la Cité. The bridge is noted for being the "most ancient" in Paris, in the sense that, while the oldest bridge in Paris that is in its original state is undoubtedly the Pont Neuf, a bridge in some form has existed at the site of the Pont Notre-Dame since antiquity; nonetheless, it has been destroyed and reconstructed numerous times, a fact referred to in the Latin inscription on it to honor its Italian architect, Fra Giovanni Giocondo. (See below.) The bridge once was lined with approximately sixty houses, the weight of which caused a collapse in 1499. HistoryIt was on this spot that the first bridge of Paris, called the Grand-Pont, crossed the Seine from antiquity. In 886, during the siege of Paris and the Norman attacks, this structure was destroyed and replaced by a plank bridge, named the Pont des Planches de Milbray (Milbray plank bridge). This bridge was destroyed by the floods of 1406. On May 31, 1412, Charles VI of France ordered the construction of the first version of the bridge to be named "Notre-Dame". This structure was composed of solid wood and connected the Île de la Cité to the rue Saint-Martin. The bridge took seven years to build and had sixty houses atop it, thirty on each side. The houses were noted by Robert Gauguin as being "remarkable for their height, and the uniformity of construction" and was called the "handsomest in France."King Charles' wooden bridge collapsed on October 25, 1499 near 9 a.m., likely due to structural instabilities caused by the lack of repairs. Stone foundations were laid for a new bridge that same year, while a ferry filled the transportation void. This time, the bridge was built with stone, as an arch bridge under the direction of Italian architect, scholar and Franciscan Friar, Fra Giovanni Giocondo, who had also overseen the building of the Petit Pont. The construction was completed in 1507, still overhung with sixty stone and brick buildings all built to one tall gabled design, and would become a spot of frequent commerce and trading: here was located the tiny boutique of the marchand-mercier Edme-François Gersaint, whose shop-sign was painted by Antoine Watteau. The houses upon the bridge were the first to be given numbers. In 1660 the bridge was refurbished to honour the arrival in Paris of the daughter of the king Philip IV of Spain, Maria Theresa of Spain who became queen of France by marrying Louis XIV.Between 1746 and 1788 the houses along the bridge were demolished for sanitary purposes and because of the danger the structures caused to the bridge's stability. In 1853, a new stone structure was completed atop the existing stone foundation, although this reincarnation was only composed of five arches. The new bridge was subsequently the cause of not less than thirty-five water traffic accidents between 1891 and 1910 and was given the unofficial name the pont du Diable (Devil's Bridge). Thus, in order to facilitate the passage of boats and the flow of the Seine, a decision was made to rebuild the bridge, this time in metal. The new work was directed by Jean Résal, who had also worked on the Pont Mirabeau and Pont Alexandre III; it was inaugurated in 1919 by Raymond Poincaré, President of the French Republic. The structure has remained the same since. Source : Wikipédia – Reproduction of extracts of original text. Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.
