TOWN HOTEL
City hall with a very beautiful facade, typical of the Gothic architecture of northern France, in Valenciennes.
Classified as a historical monument, the town hall has a very beautiful façade, typical of the Gothic architecture of northern France. Of the town hall of the 17th century there remains nothing or almost nothing: only the facade has resisted the bombings and fires of the Second World War. The allegorical statues were designed by Henri Lemaire. At the top is reconstituted the famous pediment of Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, Valenciennes defending its ramparts (the original having fallen during the Second World War).
