The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Ce marché couvert de style Baltard est un des derniers subsistants dans la région sans transformation majeure. Il a été construit en 1891-1892 par l'atelier de serrurerie André Michelin, un des frères fondateurs de l'usine Michelin. De plan carré avec un lanterneau central, il est entouré d'un mur de briques s'élevant à mi-hauteur de ses élévations. Il se situe sur une place parfaitement homogène par son architecture de la première moitié du 19e siècle.

This covered market in the Baltard style is one of the last remaining in the region without major transformation. It was built in 1891-1892 by the locksmith workshop André Michelin, one of the founding brothers of the Michelin factory. Of square plan with a central lantern, it is surrounded by a brick wall rising to mid-height of its elevations. It is situated on a square perfectly homogeneous in its architecture of the first half of the 19th century.
