The Hôtel de Ville (French pronunciation: [otɛl də vil], City Hall) is a municipal building in Chambéry, Savoie, southeastern France, standing on Rue Favre.
Referred to as the Maison de la Cité (the City House), it was the place where the church council met and the bishop of Grenoble also had an office there.
[3] Shortly after Savoy had been ceded by the Kingdom of Sardinia to France under the Treaty of Turin in 1860,[4] the council, led by a new mayor, Baron Frédéric d'Alexandry d'Orengiani, decided to commission a new town hall.
[5] Internally, the principal room was the Salle du Conseil (council chamber) which featured a fine plaster ceiling, a large chandelier and a marquetry floor: it was restored in 1990.
[10] The president of France, Jacques Chirac, visited the town hall and supported by the mayor, André Gilbertas, inspected a guard of honour, on 4 May 2000.
