Hôtel de Ville, Reims, Town hall and historical monument in Reims, France.

The Hôtel de Ville is a town hall and historical monument in Reims featuring a symmetrical facade designed in the Renaissance Revival style. The building stretches across the plaza with 19 bays and rises three stories, with towers projecting forward on each side to frame the composition.

Construction of this town hall began in 1627 on land that previously served as a horse market, where the city council acquired space for its meetings. The building marks the growing importance of Reims during the 17th century as an administrative center.

The building displays decorative carvings and reliefs that show the wealth and civic pride of Reims during its prosperous period. The carved stone details around the main entrance tell you how important this gathering place was to local leaders and the community.

The town hall welcomes visitors primarily during weekday afternoons in the central plaza. Plan your visit on a weekday and be aware that some areas may be closed when official events are taking place inside.

A bell cast by craftsman Pierre Roussel was installed in the clock tower in March 1630 and continues to ring to this day. This nearly 400-year-old bell remains in working order and quietly demonstrates the craftsmanship that went into building this monument.
