HOTEL DE VILLE

18th-century town house, converted into a town hall in 1851.

It features a classical façade with an impressive lauze roof.

The original "ramp on ramp" interior staircase has been preserved.

The interior is a fine architectural feature, with carved hanging keystones and a wrought-iron handrail.

For guided tours only, the upstairs wedding room features a set of 17th-century Aubusson tapestries illustrating the story of Judith and Holofernes.

Open to the public only on scheduled guided tours (June to September & during school vacations) or by reservation.
