The town hall was built at the end of the 17th century by order of King Louis in the then fashionable baroque style. This building has an interesting feature - the floors do not communicate with each other, the entrance to the second floor is only through the neighboring building, along the covered bridge. This is due to the fact that the ground floor once housed shopping malls, and in order not to interfere with the work of the city authorities, it was decided to make a separate entrance for them. Address: quai du Port

By the way, the City Hall miraculously escaped destruction twice - during the Great French Revolution and during the Second World War.
