Vitry-le-François Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

The town hall is located on the site of a 17th-century Recollects monastery, founded by the Bishop of Châlons-en-Champagne. After being largely destroyed during the Second World War, it was rebuilt according to 19th-century plans. The beautiful garden features the facade of the former chapel of the Collège des garçons, which burned down in 1940, and the Adam and Eve group by sculptor Alphonse Terroir, a gift from the City of Paris.

Superb stretch along the canal
