City Hall of Versailles

City Hall of Versailles is a municipal building located at the corner of Avenue de Paris and Rue du Général de Gaulle, featuring eclectic architecture. The structure combines a lower wing with a grand staircase and a neo-Renaissance facade with Louis XIII influences facing the main avenue.

Originally built in 1670 for the Marquis de Bellefonds, the building passed through several aristocratic owners before becoming the official city hall in 1821.

Inside, you can see wooden wall panels from the Louis XV period, and the building regularly hosts exhibitions featuring work by local artists.

The building is generally open for visitors on weekdays and weekends, with guided tours available and administrative services for residents. Check ahead to see if specific exhibitions or events are scheduled during your visit.

The building brings together two completely different architectural styles within a single structure, making it an unusual example of eclecticism. This unexpected combination reflects the layered history of the place and its numerous transformations over time.
