Mairie
In local government, a city hall, town hall, civic centre (in the UK or Australia), guildhall, or municipal hall (in the Philippines) is the chief administrative building of a city, town, or other municipality. It usually houses the city or town council and at least some other arms of the local government. It also often functions as the office of the mayor (or other executive), if the relevant municipality has such an officer. In large cities, the local government is often administratively expansive, and the city hall may bear more resemblance to a municipal capitol building. By convention, until the middle of the 19th century, a single large open chamber (or "hall") formed an integral part of the building housing the council and such other organs of government as supported it. The hall may be used for council meetings and other significant events. This large chamber, the "town hall" (and its later variant "city hall") became synonymous with the whole building, and, synec ...

Arrondissements Of Lyon
The arrondissements of Lyon (French language, French: ''Arrondissements de Lyon'') are the nine administrative divisions (Municipal arrondissements of France, arrondissements) of the Lyon, City of Lyon. Together with Paris and Marseille, it is one of three Communes of France, communes in France to have municipal arrondissements. Each arrondissement is governed by a council (''conseil d'arrondissement'') and mayor, both elected for six years; the arrondissements return a number of councillors to the Municipal council (France), municipal council of Lyon, proportionally to their population, for city matters. Unlike the spiral pattern of the arrondissements of Paris, or the meandering pattern of the arrondissements of Marseille, the layout in Lyon is more Idiosyncrasy, idiosyncratic. This is for historical reasons: following the annexation of the communes of , La Croix-Rousse and Vaise in 1852, the newly enlarged city was divided into five arrondissements, which originally spiralled ...

Les Brotteaux
Brotteaux is a neighborhood in the 6th arrondissement of Lyon. It is situated between the Rhône and the track railway which leads to the Gare de la Part-Dieu. The urbanization of this area began in the late eighteenth century under the leadership of architect and urban planner Jean-Antoine Morand Jouffrey (1727-1794). The area is sometimes called Morand quarter. Etymology The word "Broteaux" (with one "t") means in Lyon-language an island in the Rhône alluvial plain and bounded by the river itself or one of its arms or ''lône''. This word comes from Franco-Provençal language ''broteu'', itself formed by ''brot'', pronounced ru which means the young shoots of trees that grow here. It seems that the current spelling with two "t", "brotteaux" has appeared in the early nineteenth century under the leadership of local government and against the protests of local scholars. Current description Brotteaux quarter hosts a large number of renowned restaurants such as the Splendid of ...
