The Mairie de Cannes displays a stark white neoclassical facade with a grand, recessed portico facing the edge of the harbor. This building serves as the city’s administrative heart, but its real history lies in the fire of nineteen twelve. The original town hall burned to the ground, taking the municipal archives with it. Architects rebuilt this structure on the same spot to signal a clean start for the local government, finalizing the design while the rest of the city looked toward the sea.
