Montreal City Hall

The five-story Montreal City Hall (Hôtel de Ville) was built between 1872 and 1878. Its architecture is in the Second Empire style, also known as Napoléon III-style. In 1967 Charles de Gaulle, then President of France, gave his famous Vive le Québec libre speech from the building's balcony.
