Origin and history
The Agde Town Hall is a former consular hotel built between the 17th and 18th centuries. This building, located in the heart of the city, housed municipal services from the French Revolution until 1986. Its architecture reflects its central role in local administrative and political management for centuries.
Ranked Historic Monument by order of 1 April 1935, the building is now protected for its architectural heritage. It was produced under the direction of Jean Cavelier, a master work identified in the archives. Owned by the commune, it embodies the institutional evolution of Agde, from the Ancien Régime to the contemporary era.
The available sources, including the Mérimée and Monumentum base, specify its exact address: 2 Rue de la Halle, in the department of l'Hérault (Occitanie). Although its GPS location is considered "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), its historical and symbolic importance for the city remains undeniable.
