Villeurbanne City Hall

Villeurbanne City Hall is a municipal building located at Place Lazare Goujon, defined by clean geometric forms and a prominent central tower. The tower rises prominently above the main structure, creating a clear focal point for the square.

The building was officially designated as a historical monument in 1991, embodying architect Robert Giroud's design vision. It emerged during Villeurbanne's major urban transformation in the early 20th century.

The building serves as the heart of municipal life in this city, where residents gather for administrative matters and official events. It represents how the community connects through shared civic spaces.

The building is open to visitors on weekdays for administrative services, with clearly marked counters for different types of procedures. Visitors can find assistance for civil registration, residency matters, and other municipal needs.

The building forms a key part of the Gratte-Ciel district, a planned urban area featuring symmetrical layout and organized public spaces. The way the square is arranged reveals intentional design choices that shape how people move through the area.
