The Hôtel de Ville (French pronunciation: [otɛl də vil], City Hall) is a municipal building in Besançon, Doubs, eastern France, standing on Place du 8-Septembre.

The new building was designed by Richard Maire in the Renaissance style, using multi-coloured stones from the Forest of Chailluz, and was completed in 1573.

[5] The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage with nine ground floor bays facing onto the Place Saint-Pierre.

The central bay featured a round headed opening with voussoirs and a keystone surmounted by a carving of an eagle rising into a broken pediment.

Over subsequent centuries, the birth and death certificates of notable residents, including the writer, Victor Hugo, the philosopher, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, and the socialist writer, Charles Fourier, were installed in the Salle des Pas Perdues, while portraits of the 29 mayors elected since the French Revolution were installed in the Salle des Mariages.
