The Hôtel de Ville (French pronunciation: [otɛl də vil], City Hall) is a municipal building in Caen, Calvados, north-west France, standing on the Esplanade Jean-Marie Louvel.

[7][8] The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of 27 bays facing onto what became the Esplanade Jean-Marie Louvel, with the end sections slightly projected forward.

There was a clock flanked by two square headed windows at attic level, all surmounted by a pediment with carvings in the tympanum and a lantern behind.

[9] After the French Revolution, the building became the headquarters of the department of Calvados as well as the local gendarmerie and then became home to the Lycée Impérial in 1804.

[10] The vacant building was acquired by the council and, following conversion for municipal use, re-opened as the town hall in January 1965.
