The entire story is set in France. Perhaps they don't add anything for you but for me they give the story a more French flavour.

And anyway town hall is not an precise translation for mairie. In my home town in the south of England a more correct equivalent would be civic offices. Also in the UK reporting a death is done online these days, definitely not at the town hall.

Actually I don't know for sure how these things are done in France but that they are done differently seems certain.

US reader checking in. If they'd translated it as "town hall" I'd assume they were talking about a dreadful televised political rally.
