The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Selon la tradition locale, les halles remontent au règne de Henri IV. Elles se composent de trois nefs de six travées, séparées les unes des autres par des piliers reposant sur des stylobates en pierre et supportant une charpente. Sur les côtés extérieurs, de gros piliers carrés, en blocage de maçonnerie, remplacent les éléments en bois.

According to local tradition, the market hall dates back to the reign of Henri IV. It consists of three naves of six bays, separated from one another by pillars resting on stone stylobates and supporting a roof structure. On the exterior sides, large square pillars of rubble stone masonry replace the timber elements.
