Halles de Tours

Halles de Tours is a modern market hall at Place Gaston-Pailhou with more than forty vendors selling food, meat, cheese, and other goods across multiple levels. The building also includes commercial spaces and underground parking facilities.

The first market hall was built in 1866 by architect Gustave Guérin and served the city for more than a century. The current building replaced this original structure in 1976 and has shaped the urban landscape ever since.

The market hall serves as a daily gathering place for residents seeking fresh foods and regional products that shape local eating habits. It reflects how people in the city source ingredients for their everyday meals.

The hall offers clear signage to help you find different food sections and merchants easily. The building is convenient to reach by car thanks to the extensive underground parking available.

The building resembles an ocean liner with its white concrete and glass design, giving it a distinctive appearance among typical urban structures. The upper levels also house offices of a local television station, making it a place with mixed use beyond shopping.
