Tips
When he built the town hall in 1675 according to plans by Hardouin-Mansart, the Arles-born architect Peytret took over the clock tower (16th century) from the previous building, which is modeled on the mausoleum on the Plateau des Antiques in St-Rémy-de-Provence. The almost flat vault in the vestibule deserves attention, a real masterpiece. The construction of the two keystones is still a secret to the architects.

Underneath the town hall building are the arcades of the substructure of the Roman Forum. Large, dark halls that can be visited.
