History
Halles built in 1672 by Anne of Rohan, wife of Louis VIII of Rohan. They comprise three naves covered in roof structure. The two doors giving access to them, to the south and west, are surmounted by a curved pediment supported by pilasters or richly decorated consoles. In the tympana, surrounded by palms, the arms of the Rohans have been erased. Inscriptions recall the foundation of the building.
