Halles de Niort, Market hall in Niort, France
The cast iron and glass market hall showcases a central nave supported by stone pillars with high ceilings that allow natural light through skylights.
The current structure, completed in 1871, represents the third market hall at this location, following earlier buildings dating back to the 13th century.
Local producers gather daily to sell regional specialties, including meats, cheeses, fresh vegetables, and seafood from the Atlantic coast.
The indoor market opens six days per week, hosting 60 permanent vendors inside the main hall and additional sellers in the adjacent square on weekends.
The design by Simon Durand combines Parisian architectural elements with regional market traditions, earning monument historique status in 1987.
