About Tours Town Hall

The Tours Town Hall is a Beaux-Arts municipal palace completed in 1904, designed by Victor Laloux — the same architect behind the Gare d'Orsay in Paris (now the Musée d'Orsay). The building dominates Place Jean Jaurès with its colonnaded facade, sculpted atlantes, and a campanile topped by a square dome. Its exterior features allegorical sculptures of the Loire and Cher rivers by Jean-Antoine Injalbert, and a clock flanked by two caryatids representing Day and Night.

When Montreal's city hall lost its roof in a 1922 fire, the city modeled the replacement roof directly on the Tours Town Hall's design. Laloux's architectural vision thus crossed the Atlantic, influencing Canadian civic architecture decades after the building's completion.
