The Versailles Hotel de Ville (city hall) consists of two distinct parts: along the rue du Général de Gaulle, facing the palace, sits a low building preceded by a wide staircase.
This is the first city hall, established in 1790 in the old hotel de Conti. This property, belonging to one Louis XIV's illegitimate daughters, passed under Louis XV to the Grand Master of the king's household, who had it refurbished.
Paneling from this period is preserved in the modern part of the building. The house, facing the avenue de Paris, is an imposing neo-Louis XIII building designed by H. Legrand, dating from 1897-1900.
