Hôtel de Ville, Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis

The Hôtel de Ville (French pronunciation: [otɛl də vil], City Hall) is a municipal building in Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis, in the northern suburbs of Paris, standing on Place Victor-Hugo.

The first meeting place of the bailiff and aldermen, appointed by King Louis XV on 9 June 1720, was the home of Jean-Baptiste Le Laboureur.

It was designed by Paul Laynaud in the Renaissance style, built in ashlar stone and was officially opened by the president of France, Jules Grévy, on 21 November 1883.

The first floor was fenestrated by tall mullioned and transomed windows with stone balconies, and the bays were flanked by full-height pilasters supporting a frieze.
