The Mairie (town hall) in the small commune of Urval in the Dordogne region of France. The Mairie is an important part of French civic administration. The elected mayor (maire) has wide ranging powers and responsibilities within the commune. The date above the door indicates the mairie dates from 1882 and at one time was a boys school. The size of the building for such a small hamlet suggests that other funding may have been available to enhance the civic pride of Urval.
