Location History
Built between 1887 and 1891, the City hall of Vincennes, in its first version, is the work of the architect Eugène Calinaud. The large mullioned windows, the stained glass windows, the high roof topped by a campanile and the harmony of the proportions give it a neo-Renaissance style. Several materials were used for its construction (Euville rock, Saint-Maximin half-rock, Chauvigny stone...). The doubling of the population of Vincennes in forty years quickly made it necessary to enlarge the town hall, which had become cramped. In 1931, the expansion project by municipal architects Henri Quarez and Gustave Lapostolle was approved by the city council. The extension of the town hall was inaugurated on March 25, 1935 by the president of the council Pierre-Etienne Flandin. The neo-Renaissance aesthetics of the complex is admirably preserved.
