List of city and town halls in France

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of city and town halls in France. The list is sortable by building age and height, and provides a link to the database of monuments historique, which is a listing of buildings and structures important to France's architectural and historical cultural heritage,[1] where relevant. This list has been compiled using the list of the largest cities and towns of France published by "About France" to ensure completeness.[2] The oldest town hall is Hôtel de Ville, La Rochelle completed in 1298,[3][4] and the tallest town hall is Hôtel de Ville, Lille with a clock tower which rises to 341 feet (104 m).[5]
