The Convent of the Carmelites was located on the site of the Town Hall in the 13th century. In the 18th century, it consisted of two perpendicular wings, one facing the square, the other facing the transept of the Saint-Pierre church. Having become a national property during the Revolution, the building then had various functions. In 1844, the complex became the new Town Hall and the architect Eugène Piot completely rebuilt the two primitive wings, then in ruins. In 1822, for the purposes of the court that then settled on the site, two wings were added to the existing building, thus forming a quadrilateral. Inside, the monumental staircase, the hall of honor and the hall of mayors, on the first floor, testify to the importance of pageantry in the nineteenth century.
