The park of the Hôtel de Ville, also called Parc Mondory, houses two pavilions: the Oratory of Anne of Austria and the Guardhouse. The original building, made of ferruginous sandstone, brick and half-timbering, dates from the 17th century. It was located on the site of the current Hôtel de Ville.
Owned by Le Vaillant, a master glassmaker, it was one of the most beautiful houses in the town.
Thanks to its size and location, it was chosen to accommodate the King of France Louis XIII and Queen Anne of Austria during their cure in 1633.
During this royal stay, the local nobility and the Deputation of the Parliament of Rouen presented themselves to the King.
Leisure activities occupied an important place: hunting, theater, etc.
The famous Mondory and his troupe were brought from Paris. He presented three plays: Mélite, Clitandre and la Veuve by Pierre Corneille.
The latter took advantage of this to draw the attention of the Cardinal and thus obtain his protection.
In memory of this episode, the park of the Hôtel de Ville bears the name Parc Mondory.

At a recent city council meeting, the city decided to rename this park Michel Lejeune after the former mayor of Forges who died two years ago. Michel Lejeune particularly liked this place, which was long called Mondory, after a 17th century theater actor.
