Bordeaux Hôtel de Ville (Palais Rohan)

The Bordeaux Hôtel de Ville, also known as the Palais Rohan, was constructed in 1771 and stands as a prime example of Louis XIV neoclassical architecture. Located in the heart of Bordeaux, this grand building features elegant facades and intricate details that reflect the opulence of the era. Inside, visitors can explore the dining room, where a Pompeii-style trompe l’oeil fresco once inspired the young Eugène Delacroix to pursue his artistic career. Today, the Hôtel de Ville serves as the city’s administrative center, offering a glimpse into both its historical and contemporary significance.
