HÔTEL DE VILLE DE MARVEJOLS
In the Middle Ages and in modern times, Marvejols was a royal town closely linked to the power of the King of France. In 1680, its consuls, royal officers responsible for dispensing justice in Gévaudan and the Hautes Cévennes, needed a safe and convenient building. They therefore purchased a building in the rue Droite (now av. Savorgnan de Brazza), which served as both a courtroom and a courthouse

Today, this imposing building, which has undergone many alterations and was the focal point of various administrative, judicial and prison activities, is the Hôtel de Ville (Town Hall)
