(I am rephrasing your question as "Who ordered that Paris, France (known as 'the city of light'), be burned?". Hopefully this is what you are looking for, feel free to clarify on the discussion page if not.)

During the late stages of World War II, in 1944, Hitler famously ordered that Paris be burned as the Germans withdrew. His generals disobeyed this order, and Paris was spared.

This is depicted in the 1966 movie "Is Paris Burning?"
