The Hôtel de Ville (French pronunciation: [otɛl də vil], City Hall) is a municipal building in Laval, Mayenne, western France, standing on Place du 11-Novembre.
It was built on an area of marshland, which was drained to allow development, for a local tax lawyer and minor aristocrat, Annibal de Farcy (1576–1650), in the mid-17th century.
The central section of five bays, which was slightly projected forward, featured a short flight of steps leading up to three round headed openings with moulded surrounds and keystones.
The outer bays of the central section featured niches containing statues, representing agriculture and commerce, on the first floor, and there was a clock in the centre of the parapet.
[5] The council chamber was also used for public events: on 3 January 1846, the pianist, Franz Liszt, performed a recital there, at a time when Lisztomania was at its height.
