The Macon City Hall is found in the former Montrevel hotel, built between 1746 and 1751 by Abel-Michel Chesnard de Layé who passed it on to his son in 1753, who himself defeated it in 1767 in favour of Comte Melchior de Labaume de Montrevel. Rich owner in Bresse and in Macon, he then undertook major expansion. He built the great Comedie hall (now the Council Chambers), hosting a stall, an orchestra and a stage surrounded by two sets of boxes. There he played many parts that please the nobles and bourgeois of Macon. Comedie was destroyed by fire on the night of 8 to 9 February 1907. Before being guillotined during the French Revolution, the count of Montrevel sold his hotel to the city of Macon on March 8, 1793. You can admire the lavish woodwork in the marriage hall, a library housing the medallion portraits of ancient philosophers. In the entrance hall, you will find the stairs with its wrought iron railing as well as the large living room for weddings and the boardroom that are worth seeing.

En 1792, la ville de Mâcon l'achète à son propriétaire et en fait son hôtel de ville.
En 1880, François Martin, maire de Mâcon, fit construire deux autres ailes en retour, du côté de la rue Carnot, encadrant une cour donnant sur la place Saint-Pierre.
L'hôtel de ville est inscrit au titre des monuments historiques : 1941.
Entre le personnel désagréable, la mauvaise foi, les nombreuses contradictions, le fait qu’on me raccroche au nez et qu’ils ne connaissent pas leur métier, je comprends tous les mauvais commentaires.
On me dit qu’on va me rappeler puis on me fait attendre 2 semaines sans nouvelles, la dame au téléphone me rappelle enfin pour me dire qu’elle était en formation alors que sa collègue m’a dit qu’elle était malade. C’est inadmissible, sans parler du fait qu’on me valide certains papiers pour m’en demander finalement d’autres presque tous les mois.
À fuir absolument !
