Louis XIV offered l'ancienne trésorerie (the old treasury building), which was the place where local people paid their taxes and which dated from the 14th century.

Although remnants of the old treasury building on Rue de La Trésorerie survived, the main frontage was demolished.

The new structure was designed by Augustin-Charles d'Aviler in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone and was officially opened on 30 August 1703.

[7] Suspended above the grand staircase were four stuffed crocodiles, which had been brought back from Egypt and dated from the late 16th to the early 18th centuries.

[5] After the Second World War, a plaque was installed in the town hall to commemorate the lives of the 271 local people who died on 27 May 1944 during American aerial bombing of the area.
