The Hôtel de Ville (French pronunciation: [otɛl də vil], City Hall) is a municipal building in Poitiers, Vienne, western France, standing on Place du Maréchal-Leclerc.

[2] Following significant population growth in the mid-19th century, largely associated with the train services arriving at the newly completed Poitiers station, the council decided to redevelop the city centre.

The master plan, prepared by Georges-Eugène Haussmann envisaged a triumphal route, the Rue Victor Hugo, leading up to a new town hall.

Two canvasses painted by Pierre Puvis de Chavannes were installed on the grand staircase in 1874: they depicting the French victory achieved by Charles Martel at the Battle of Tours in October 732 during the Umayyad invasion of Gaul,[7] and Bishop Venantius Fortunatus reading poems to Queen Radegund at Holy Cross Abbey in the late 6th century.

[8] A portrait by Louis Charles Auguste Steinheil, depicting Eleanor of Aquitaine granting Poitiers a charter in 1199, was installed in the Salon d'Honneur.
