The facade of the Prefecture, dating from the 19th century, looks out over the large Place des Martyrs de la Resistance. The Prefecture occupies the site of the Hotel de Ganges which later became the Hotel de l'Intendance in 1718. The old entry to the Hotel de Ganges is still visible to the left of the 19th century facade and faces out onto the charming Place Chabaneau. The elegant fountain in the centre of this square was sculpted by Joseph Journet in 1775. Admission: Free
