The image captures an exterior view of the Hôtel de Ville (City Hall) situated on Place Marouret in Le Puy-en-Velay, France, under an overcast sky. The prominent subject is a large, multi-story building constructed of light-colored stone blocks, exhibiting classical architectural elements including numerous rectangular windows with white frames and black wrought-iron balconies on the lower floors. Three French flags (blue, white, red vertical stripes) are suspended from a central second-story balcony. A street sign reading "PLACE MAROURET" is affixed to the building's left corner. The foreground features an uneven cobblestone street and sidewalk, with a yellow painted line visible on the cobblestones. A dark brown metal bollard with a yellow top stands in the immediate foreground. To the right of the main building, a small public area contains several dark wooden planter boxes and a couple of wooden benches, set on a light brown gravel or dirt surface. In the background, beyond this plaza, a more modern multi-story building with a light facade and numerous windows is visible, along with other urban structures and a single white car on a paved road. No discernible individuals are present in the scene.
