Rennes City Hall, Town hall in Centre district, Rennes, France

The city hall features two symmetrical wings connected by a central clock tower with an onion-shaped dome, displaying Baroque architectural elements throughout its facade.

After the 1720 fire devastated Rennes, architect Jacques Gabriel designed this administrative building as part of the city's reconstruction plan completed in 1743.

The building contains memorial inscriptions honoring World War I veterans and formerly displayed statues of Louis XV and Anne of Brittany on its grounds.

The city hall maintains regular opening hours during weekdays, allowing visitors to explore its grand entrance hall and administrative sections.

The original statue plinth remains empty since 1932 when Breton nationalists destroyed the sculpture during celebrations of Brittany's union with France.
