The caption "Hôtel de ville" should appear with the image on the right, but it does not. "Maire" appears over the door on the photo, so we know this is the town hall. --[[User:Dthomsen8|DThomsen8]] ([[User talk:Dthomsen8|talk]]) 21:56, 29 June 2009 (UTC) |

In France, since the revolution, the proper name for the building housing the Mayor, councillors etc should be [[mairie]]. Hotels de Ville still exist of course, and are usually pre-revolutionary buildings where the local noble(s) would meet out justice. As MAIRIE is carved/painted above the door, the caption should read 'The Mairie' or the translated 'Town Hall', as Bailly is designated a town. (see [http://www.annuaire-mairie.fr/ville-bailly-78.html Bailly page on annuaire-mairie]). More info at [[:fr:hôtel de ville]]. |

In francophone Canada, its different, of course... Cheers [[User:Dickeybird|Dickie]] ([[User talk:Dickeybird|talk]]) 06:59, 2 July 2009 (UTC) |

Hôtel de ville
The caption "Hôtel de ville" should appear with the image on the right, but it does not. "Maire" appears over the door on the photo, so we know this is the town hall. --DThomsen8 (talk) 21:56, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
In France, since the revolution, the proper name for the building housing the Mayor, councillors etc should be mairie. Hotels de Ville still exist of course, and are usually pre-revolutionary buildings where the local noble(s) would meet out justice. As MAIRIE is carved/painted above the door, the caption should read 'The Mairie' or the translated 'Town Hall', as Bailly is designated a town. (see Bailly page on annuaire-mairie).
