Historique
Ces halles couvertes sont constituées par seize piliers qui supportent la charpente recouverte de tuile plate. L'ensemble mesure 12m sur 12, ce qui est une des halles les plus grandes connues en Périgord. Le premier pilier, à gauche en montant vers l'église, a son sommet aplati. Il servait de pilori et la sentence était affichée sur la partie plate.

History
These covered market halls are constituted by sixteen pillars which support the roof structure covered with flat tiles. The whole measures 12m by 12m, which is one of the largest market halls known in Périgord. The first pillar, on the left going up towards the church, has its top flattened. It served as a pillory and the sentence was posted on the flat part.
