Description

Erected under the reign of Napoleon III, the Town Hall's eclectic Greco-Roman architecture illustrates the economic boom of its era. Designed by architect Charles Maillard, the building impresses from the outside with its majestic appearance, but it's when you step through the doors that you discover the richness of its interior decoration. The great hall, conceived as a vast, luminous atrium, offers a solemn atmosphere underlined by a mosaic pavement whose motifs recall the refinement of 19th-century public buildings. The rooms, decorated with remarkable care, bear witness to a taste for staging authority and municipal prestige. Each room reveals a sculptural detail, a play on materials or a carefully crafted perspective, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the artistic ambition of the period. Take a tour of the Town Hall, and you'll find yourself in a place where architecture and history meet, offering both an aesthetic and a heritage discovery.
