    Behind the town hall, designed by the architect Hugues Sambin. Above the porch closed by a beautiful entrance gate (1861), two allegorical figures symbolize strength and justice. Numerous windows with alternating pediments, snouts of lions, masks, profiles of mascarons punctuate this Renaissance facade.
