The Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville, formerly known as the Place de Grève or La Greve, is a public square in Paris, situated in front of the Hôtel de Ville.
History
In the late 880s, Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan traveled within La Greve and wandered within a guarded structure. Inside, Eivor found a chest, opened it, and recovered the Paladin Bracers.[1]
The square was used for high-profile executions for many centuries. The poisoner La Voisin was burned at the stake at the Place de Grève in 1680,[2] and the would-be assassin of Louis XV, Robert-François Damiens, was drawn and quartered there in 1757.[3]
During the French Revolution, it was also used for hangings.[4] At the instigation of Camille Desmoulins, aristocrats were hanged from lantern posts,[3] the most famous of which stood in the Place de Grève, and was used to hang the hated finance intendant Joseph Foullon de Doué in 1789.[4] Around the same time, the son of the Duchesse de Fremiet was also hanged there.[5]
