À propos du lieu

Hôtel de Ville

Esplanade Simone-Veil, 51100 Reims

Marne
Grand Est

Built in the 17th century on the plans of architect Jean Bonhomme, the town hall was not completed until the 19th century. On May 3, 1917, it was set on fire and only the facades were preserved, with the exception of the courtyard façade. Listed as a Historic Monument in 1862, the campanile and the main facade have been restored while the interior works are entrusted to the architects Paul Bouchette and Roger-Henri Expert.
The town hall was inaugurated on 10 June 1928 by the President of the Republic Gaston Doumergue, at the same time as the Carnegie library.
The forecourt of the town hall has become a highly qualitative development and with new potentialities, the City is writing a new page in the history of Reims. Inaugurated on Europe Day, May 9, 2019, the site becomes the Simone-Veil esplanade.
