Hôtel de ville de Cannes

The Hôtel de ville de Cannes is a Neoclassical administrative building with Doric and Ionic columns supporting its rectangular structure. The design features two main stories topped by a decorated upper level containing sculptural elements.

The building was constructed in 1876 under architect Louis Hourlier and replaced earlier municipal facilities located near the Sainte-Anne chapel. This construction marked the city's move toward a more centralized and modern administrative center.

The facade displays carved panels that represent local crafts and the city's coat of arms, symbols that residents have seen for generations.

The building functions as the city's administrative center where visitors can handle municipal matters related to residency or administrative documents. Its central location makes it easy to find and access when you need to visit government offices.

A war memorial sculpted by Albert Cheuret was placed opposite the town hall in 1927, creating an important civic ensemble in the center of town. This monument honors local lives lost and remains a focal point of the public square.
