Dannemarie's hotel de ville is one of the town's most impressive buildings
A British tourist has spent a night trapped in a French town hall after mistakenly thinking she could book a room at the "hotel de ville".
The hapless female visitor arrived in the Alsace town of Dannemarie on Friday and tried to find a bed for the night.
Spotting the impressive-looking "hotel de ville", the tourist popped in to use the toilet before trying to check in.
But as she was in the convenience, officials finished a meeting, left the town hall and locked its door.
