Villeurbanne's Town Hall is part of a building complex constructed in the 30s, which also includes the present day Théâtre Populaire National (T.N.P) and the Cité des Gratte-Ciel. It just goes to show that Lyons is not all Gothic and Renaissance architecture. R.Giroud designed this impressive building between 1930 and 1934. The columns engaged in the walls and belfry enhance the impression of height. This rather sober architectural style is similar to the Hôtel des Postes de Lyons (see Place Antonin Poncet). Coloured marble and columns brighten up the great hall inside. For the past 15 years, the council has been trying to bring architecture and art to the people and has decorated the rather austere walls and hall of the Hôtel de Ville with works of modern art - although it is not quite the Palais de Tokyo (in Paris) it's certainly worth a visit!
