Audio Guide From 1655 to 1670 the Association of Pierre Pavillon and Jean-Claude Rambot, sculptors and architects, established this building and its Italian-style decorations. Go through the original and beautiful wrought-iron entrance to find a harmonious courtyard and the staircase of honour that leads to the upper storeys housing the council room and its rich décor. The atmosphere and décor evokes a scene from a swashbuckling film. The clock tower, the former town belfry, adjoins the City Hall and houses an astronomical clock dating from 1661. Admission is free.
