Introduction

The City Hall of Tours is located on Heurteloup Street, the main road of Tours, facing Jeanne d'Arc Square. The City Hall has a beautiful design and features a rare circular 12-hour clock and a bell tower in Europe. Completed in 1904, the City Hall of Tours was a representative building at that time. During the Second World War from June 13th to 15th, 1940, the French government was located here. British politician Winston Churchill tried to persuade French Prime Minister Paul Reynaud not to negotiate a ceasefire with Germany, but was unsuccessful.
