The Capitole, Toulouse

Although I travelled back to Bath today, I wanted to share some photos of the Capitole building in Toulouse which is the equivalent of the Hotel de Ville or Mairie in other French cities - where the Council meets, the Mayor has his/her offices and civil marriages are conducted.

The 18th century exterior of the building, both facing onto the Place du Capitole and the inner courtyard is impressive.

Inside it is even more impressive as many of the rooms are decorated with original paintings - mostly from the 19th century..
