Biarritz Market Hall, Market in France/Biarritz
Biarritz Market Hall is a covered market on rue des Halles, split into two buildings: one for fish and one for other foods. Inside, dark reddish-brown steel trusses form triangular patterns beneath white corrugated roof panels set with rectangular skylights, and long white cylindrical pendant lights hang down the centre. Stalls line the sides, with glass food counters on the left and a pastry cabinet and shelves of flowers on the right, facing a large glazed arched opening at the far end.
The market is split across two buildings on rue des Halles: fish is sold in the first, other foodstuffs in the second. Vendors decorate their stalls in the red, white and green of the ikurriña and in the colours of Biarritz Olympique, the town's rugby club.
