City Hall

The disappearance of the port of Touques in 1863 plunged the city into a long and slow period of economic desertification. It is only in 1914 that a new town hall is built, of neoclassical type, dominated by its monumental clock and supported by superb colonnades. The financing of this building put a strain on the public budget, which earned it the name of "Golden Town Hall". Fortunately, in the middle of the 20th century, Touques gradually got back on its feet and its Town Hall became a symbol of the will to regain an importance, a time forgotten.
