The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La première halle a été construite au 16e siècle. Implantée au centre du bourg, la halle actuelle peut remonter au 17e siècle. Couvrant un rectangle d'environ 10x20m, elle s'appuie contre une maison du bourg sur son côté est. Elle se compose d'un vaisseau principal et d'un bas-côté nord. L'angle sud-ouest, formé par le croisement des rues, a été coupé tardivement pour faciliter la circulation. La structure, assemblée à tenons et mortaises à mi-bois, est une charpente à pannes portée par dix grands poteaux et six poteaux plus petits, chacun doté d'un épaississement asymétrique de la tête. Les bases en pierre de taille ont été coulées dans du béton coffré. Le sol conserve un cailloutis aux endroits non goudronnés.

The first market hall was built in the 16th century. Located in the centre of the town, the present market hall may date back to the 17th century. Covering a rectangle of approximately 10x20m, it is supported against a house in the town on its east side. It consists of a main vessel and a north aisle. The south-west corner, formed by the intersection of the streets, was cut away at a late date to facilitate circulation. The structure, assembled with mortise and tenon half-joints, is a roof structure with purlins supported by ten large posts and six smaller posts, each furnished with an asymmetrical thickening of the head. The stone-dressed bases were poured into shuttered concrete. The floor retains gravel in the areas not asphalted.
