Town Hall
Until 1832, municipal councillors met in the narrow premises of the Élection building. However, in this first half of the 19th century, elected officials felt the need for a separate site, specific to their function. There was a disused area in the heart of the town: the garden of the former Ursuline convent. It was on this site that the new town hall was built in 1832, with a granary in the basement.
