Origin and history

The annex town hall located at 26 rue Mouton-Duvernet, in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, is a public building whose main function is to provide a service of proximity to the inhabitants of the district. This type of building, typical of large cities, makes it possible to decentralize certain administrative procedures and to facilitate access to municipal services. In a district like the 14th, marked by gradual urbanization and a high population density, the town halls play a key role.

They reflect the administrative organisation of Paris, where each neighbourhood has local infrastructure to meet the daily needs of citizens, such as civil registrations or requests for official documents.
