The Sèvres city hall consists of a set of buildings that are large and beautiful. In 1630, René Peyrat was the first to occupy the field of "Courchamp". He sells it to Pierre Monnerot, the king's counsel and Finance manager of Orléans who later expands it by buying neighbouring estates. In 1675 Monnerot's goods are sold on Auction and some, also offered by Louis XIV to the Duke of Orléans, his brother. In 1795, the chemist Armand Seguin established his tanneries there. Fifteen years later, Napoléon gets the building and connects it to the St Cloud estate. In 1815, the Orleans' family retrieves it. In 1834, King Louis Philippe sells it to the municipal council of Sèvres, it then becomes the council building. It was the work that was done in 1910, which gave it much of its "modern" aspect, and those made between 1972 and 1983 that adorn the Cour Saint-Omer. In his collection of art works, the mayor has the vase called "Fulvy", named after Jean- Louis Henry Orry Fulvy, who in 1740 financed the first porcelain workshops of Vincennes. There are also four vases which are part of a series created by the Manufacture in respect to the signing of the Metre Convention in 1875.

Le bâtiment, rénové, est beau et imposant. Ne se visite pas vraiment évidemment, mais immanquable dans une promenade...
