Town hall of Clamart, town hall in Clamart, France

The town hall of Clamart is a listed monument combining three original buildings that were joined together and refurbished between 1919 and 1923. The structure holds administrative offices, a main council chamber with stained glass, a wedding hall, and commission rooms decorated with paintings and murals.

After the Revolution the council met at No. 14 Rue de l'Eglise, then bought the 17th-century Château de Barral in 1842. It added the 1378 dovecote tower in 1863 and a 17th-century house in 1894. Works of 1919–1923 joined the three buildings and removed the campanile; the complex was listed in 1929 and 1989.

The council chamber, on the first floor of the former Château de Barral, holds a stained-glass window made in 1989 after a design by Jean Bazaine. The Salle des Commissions has Venetian paintings by Battaglia Matteo and Giordano Luca from 1895, and the wedding room in the dovecote tower has Cubist murals by Jacques Céria from 1950. On the grand staircase hangs Jean-Constant Pape's painting of a quarry wheel, recalling Clamart's quarrying past.

The town hall sits in the center of Clamart and is easily accessible from different parts of town. Check in advance if there are open days or official events where you can view the building and its interior artworks.

The round tower on the left of the facade is a dovecote from at least 1378; in 1426 it belonged to Guillaume des Prez, falconer to Charles VI. The town bought it in 1863 and added a floor in 1878 to a design by Jacques Paul-Lequeux.
