The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Les halles forment un édifice rectangulaire, jadis ouvert sur trois faces, composé d'un rez-de-chaussée et d'un étage sous comble. Il est divisé en deux nefs et supporté par des poteaux équarris. Les poteaux sont réunis entre eux par des esseliers courbes qui simulent un arc brisé. Le comble brisé comporte un couloir central dont la charpente apparente montre des esseliers en anse de panier. A droite et à gauche sont des mansardes qui servirent de dépôts pour les laines.

History
The market hall forms a rectangular building, formerly open on three faces, composed of a ground floor and a storey under roof space. It is divided into two naves and supported by squared posts. The posts are joined together by curved braces which simulate a pointed arch. The broken roof space includes a central corridor whose exposed structure shows basket-handle braces. To the right and left are mansard roofs which served as wool storage.
