Plus d'information
Victim of the Commune, the Hôtel de Ville (Town Hall) was rebuilt by Ballu and Deperthes between 1874 and 1882 in the neo-Renaissance style. The central part of the façade reproduces the one designed by Boccador in 1533; 146 statues stand in the niches on all four of its sides. The main stairwell leads to the Banqueting Hall and to the reception halls whose decor is a mixture between the Renaissance and Belle Époque styles. Jean-Paul Laurens and Puvis de Chavannes shared the painting.
