The Hôtel de Ville de Bayeux (Bayeux Town Hall) is a stately building located on the Place Charles de Gaulle, at the heart of the Old Town. Housed in a former bishop's palace dating from the 18th century, the town hall features a classical façade with tall windows and a central pediment. Inside, visitors can admire the grand staircase, ornate reception rooms, and a collection of local art. The building is surrounded by the Jardin de l'Hôtel de Ville, a public garden with manicured hedges, flowerbeds, and a central fountain, a peaceful spot for a rest. The town hall is not only a working government building but also a venue for exhibitions and civic events. Its central location makes it a convenient meeting point for exploring Bayeux. The adjacent square hosts the weekly market and is lined with cafés and shops.
