The Hôtel de Ville (French pronunciation: [otɛl də vil], City Hall) is a municipal building in Angers, Maine-et-Loire, west France, standing on the Boulevard Résistance et Déportation.
[2] In the mid-15th century, the council sought a dedicated building and selected the Hôtel de la Godeline, which they refurbished and rented from the Bishop of Nantes from 1484.
The building was remodelled in the neoclassical style to a design by Adolphe Lenoir, and was officially opened by Marie-Thérèse, Duchess of Angoulême as the new town hall on 23 September 1823.
The central section of three bays, which was slightly projected forward, featured a tetrastyle portico formed by Doric order columns supporting an entablature with triglyphs, a cornice and a balcony with a balustrade.
[10] Following the liberation of Angers by American troops on 10 August 1944, during the Second World War, the mayor, Victor Bernier, proclaimed freedom from the balcony of the town hall.
