Located at the southern entrance of the park, the Great Hall, built around 1865-1867, hosts today large exhibitions, shows, music festivals... During the Olympic Games, the Paralympic weightlifting competitions will be held there. On the way there, you will find the Nubian Lions Fountain of 1811, located at the southern entrance of the park. Listed as a historical monument, it was first erected on the Place de la République and then transferred to La Villette in 1867.

The former place of Strike, located on the banks of the Seine, allowed its construction to unload goods coming by boat. In 1357, the municipality took its quarters in a house that will be replaced by a palace in the sixteenth century. Note that the current city hall is the exact reply. Major events took place here, particularly during the French Revolution and the Revolution of 1830. Today, it is the scene of various parties and gatherings. In winter, a skating rink attracts the world. In the summer, a music festival, which brings together popular groups and discoveries, stands on the screw. At the Football World Cup, hundreds of fans are held in front of the city hall with a giant screen! Learn more about the city hall website.
