Halle Puget

Halle Puget is a covered market hall in central Marseille with multiple vendor stalls selling fresh produce and regional specialties. The structure holds several independent sellers offering fruits, vegetables, and local goods under one traditional roof.

The hall was built in 1666 and served various purposes over centuries, including as a fish market, chapel, and police station before closing in 1987. It reopened in 2022 returning to its original purpose as a produce market.

The hall serves as a gathering spot where neighbors and regular shoppers meet while selecting produce from local vendors. The stalls create an atmosphere where people connect through shared interest in fresh, locally sourced food.

The market is located in the Belsunce district and is easily accessible on foot from central Marseille. Arrive in the morning for the best selection and a less crowded experience.

Extensive research guided the market's reopening in 2022, involving careful study of how the building was used over time. The project demonstrates how historic Marseille buildings can return to serving their communities.
