	II. The Place de Grève. Book II. Hugo, Victor Marie. 1917. Notre Dame de Paris. Vol. XII. Harvard Classics Shelf of Fiction
		La Grève already had that sinister aspect which it still retains owing to the execrable associations it calls up, and the frowning Hôtel de Ville of Dominique Bocador which has replaced the Maison-aux-Piliers.
		For the good citizens of Paris knew full well that it is not sufficient at all junctures to depend either on prayer or the law for maintaining the franchises of the city, and have always some good old rusty blunderbuss or other in reserve in the attic of the Hôtel de Ville.
		Then, as now, it was an irregular square bounded on one side by the quay, and at the others by rows of tall, narrow, and gloomy houses.

		The Hotel de Ville And The Place de Greve
		As with other squares in the medieval community, the Place de Greve became the site of many historical events, both,civil and political.

	IgoUgo: Place de Greve and Hotel de Ville - Paris, France
		Place de Greve, the medieval name for the square, was also the spot where striking tradesmen gathered to air their gripes--and even in ancient times, Paris had plenty of trades, from cathedral-builders to cobblers.
		Shopping, griping, and torture--all combined to establish Place de Greve as the main staging arena, the �message board� for communication between government and citizenry--or aristocracy and common folk, if you want to look at it as a class thing.
		By the 11th century, Paris had outgrown Ile de la Cite, the Seine was still wider, and the present site was the chief mercantile center for river traders.

	The Hotel de Ville And The Place de Greve
		Well, anyway, the markets on the Place de Greve remained there until the reign of Louis VI (1081-1137), when they were moved to their present location next to the Church of Saint Eustache as I already mentioned when we visited les I-Ialles.
		At one time the square on which this City Hall is located was known as the Place de Greve, which means "the strand." As in the case of the Strand in London, the river, which was not, of course, banked in as yet came right up to it.
		On the west it is bordered by the square in front of it; on the east by the narrow Rue Lobau; on the north by the Rue de Rivoli; and on the south by the Quai de l'Hotel de Ville and the Seine.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. John Baptist de la Salle
		De la Salle was too prudent and too well inspired by God, not to give his institute a positive character in its twofold object: the Christian education of youth and the cultivation of that spirit of faith, piety, mortification, and obedience which should characterize its members.
		De la Salle is entitled to be ranked among the advanced educators of the eighteenth century and among the greatest thinkers and educational reformers of all time.
		De la Salle applied the Simultaneous Method not only to reading, as was done by his predecessors, but also to catechism, writing, spelling, and arithmetic in the elementary classes, and then to all the specialties taught in the colleges which he founded.

		The fracas that ensued gave Chiquita time to reach the carriage of the Duke of Vallombreuse--which, taking advantage of the stir and shifting in the throng, was slowly making its way out of the Place de Greve.
		In it were a venerable priest, with a long white beard, who was holding a crucifix to the lips of the condemned man, seated beside him, the executioner, placed behind his victim, and holding the end of the rope that bound him, and an assistant, who was driving the poor old horse.
