The Ministère de la Culture's notice

En 1266, le comte de Lautrec accorde de nombreux privilèges aux habitants de la ville, parmi lesquels figure la donation d'un emplacement pour la halle destinée aux échanges commerciaux. Certainement amputée d'une bonne partie de son ancienne apparence. Elle devait occuper presque tout le pâté de maison (des piliers sont pris dans la maçonnerie des maisons voisines). Il reste malgré tout cinq piliers soutenant la vieille charpente, à l'angle d'une rue. Son originalité est d'être accompagnée par un corps de garde datant de la veille de la Révolution et signalé par une plaque sans doute d'origine.

In 1266, the count of Lautrec grants numerous privileges to the inhabitants of the town, among which is the donation of a location for the market hall intended for commercial exchanges. Certainly reduced from much of its former appearance. It was supposed to occupy almost the entire block (pillars are taken into the masonry of neighbouring houses). There nevertheless remain five pillars supporting the old roof structure, at the corner of a street. Its originality is being accompanied by a guard post dating from the eve of the Revolution and marked by a plaque probably of original date.
