The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Halle construite en 1597 et restaurée en 1889. Le plan en est rectangulaire, à nef unique, avec, de chaque côté, quatre éléments de section carrée correspondant aux supports. L'ensemble repose sur un soubassement rectangulaire. Huit bases cubiques sont surmontées de colonnes cylindriques maçonnées, couronnées de tailloirs carrés. Deux poutres et quatre sablières reposent sur les tailloirs des colonnes. Chacun des quatre angles est affermi par un gousset. Ces diverses pièces de bois s'appuient sur les angles des tailloirs. Au niveau supérieur, un faux-entrait sur trois est affermi par quatre goussets formant carré. Cette construction typique des architectures de halles est en même temps propre à la région par l'emploi et la mise en oeuvre des matériaux.

Market hall built in 1597 and restored in 1889. Its plan is rectangular, with a single nave, with, on each side, four elements of square section corresponding to the supports. The whole rests on a rectangular base. Eight cubic bases are surmounted by cylindrical masonry columns, crowned with square abacuses. Two beams and four wall plates rest on the abacuses of the columns. Each of the four corners is reinforced by a bracket. These various pieces of wood rest on the corners of the abacuses. At the upper level, every third collar tie is reinforced by four brackets forming a square. This construction, typical of market hall architecture, is at the same time characteristic of the region through the use and implementation of the materials.
