This is a list of city and town halls in France. The list is sortable by building age and height, and provides a link to the database of monuments historique , which is a listing of buildings and structures important to France's architectural and historical cultural heritage, [1] where relevant. This list, which has been compiled using the list of the largest cities and towns of France published by "About France" to ensure completeness, [2] includes over 200 surviving buildings. The oldest town hall is Hôtel de Ville, La Rochelle completed in 1298, [3] [4] and the tallest town hall is Hôtel de Ville, Lille with a clock tower which rises to 104 metres (341 ft). [5]
