The town hall and the ice rink in front of it are decorated for Christmas! Photos taken Saturday week ago.
I saw "liberte egalite fraternite" on the building, I was not aware it is the French national motto.
ReplyDeleteI like the Christmas balls around the rink. There's a pretty cool reflection in both the light blue balls in the top photo.
What a joy it must be living where something alike is possible !
ReplyDeletePlease have you all a wonderful Sunday.

Stately and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAre there often ice rinks in front? This looks like a "mini" (OK, not so mini) version of the HdV in Paris. Both are lovely and get your attention!
ReplyDeleteThat is what a town hall should look like! Beautiful structure - so imposing and majestic!
ReplyDeleteAnd so nice to have a town ice rink right there.
Up until last year the Ocala city fathers put up an indoor ice rink (tented) which was great fun for the kids...but, I think budget cuts did that in! Too bad.
Beautiful, Ciel. An imposing building.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, and patriotic too.
ReplyDeleteComme l'hôtel de ville à Paris.
ReplyDelete;-D
@ all: @ all: ice-rink only during the festive season. Follow the link for last year's photos of the ice-rink.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how to ice skate but I've always wanted to learn and that looks like the perfect setting to do so!
ReplyDeleteI'm just jealous you have a ice rink in front of city hall! I'd be there every day ;-)
ReplyDeleteDis donc, ce noël sera patriotique ou ne sera pas!peut-être un peu plus de guirlandes et un peu moins de drapeaux auraient été plus christmassy..
ReplyDeleteI remember this, it's nice with the snow. How about the floral clock?
ReplyDeleteAn ice rink, that's something we still gotta try! Must be fun!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you!

ca devient de plus en plus a la mode des patinoires devant les mairies, a Evry ils ont resolus le problemes, la place est completement glacée alors ca coute moins cher qu'une vrai patinoire ;)
ReplyDelete@ VP: last time I saw the floral clock it was all engulfed in white! ;-)
ReplyDeleteSo that is town hall, eh. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI love to ice skate although I haven't for years. I don't even know what happened to my skates. But I was in my element. I can feel the festivities.
I am better. MB
When I lived in Rhode Island, the Providence City Hall, a Second Empire Baroque style building, also had an ice rink nearby. Not in front, just a little to the right of the building, but it was always crowded, especially at Christmas when the decorations and lights drew you in.

So nice. I want to go for a skate there.
ReplyDeleteDes patinoires pour les administrés, et les voitures elles patinent aussi à l'occasion....mais ça, c'est pas voulu....ou du moins pas maîtrisé.
ReplyDeleteA public outdoor ice rink! How fun! I've always wanted to live in a town with one.
