The Hôtel de Ville (French pronunciation: [otɛl də vil], City Hall) is a municipal building in Limoges, Haute-Vienne, western France, standing on the Place Jacques Chirac.

[5][6][7] After a local resident, Alfred Fournier, died leaving his entire estate to the city in July 1875, the council decided to demolish the old town hall and to erect a new building on the same site.

At roof level, there was a parapet, which was decorated with four medallions, and a central clock tower with an ornate belfry, which was 43 metres (141 ft) high.

[8] The medallions on the parapet were created by Giandomenico Facchina and depicted the painter, Léonard Limosin, the former chancellor, Henri François d'Aguesseau, the statesman, Pierre Victurnien Vergniaud, and the military leader, Jean-Baptiste Jourdan.

[11] In May 1940, during the Second World War, the mayor, Léon Betoulle, welcomed the prime minister of Belgium, Hubert Pierlot, and other members of the Belgian government in exile to the town hall in Limoges.
