Halles-mairie d'Évron, 19th-century market hall in Évron, France
The Halles-Mairie d'Évron is a 19th-century market hall with administrative offices above, where the ground floor was originally designed as an open marketplace and the upper level houses municipal functions. Its preserved facades and roof structures display the craftsmanship of the period.
Construction took place between 1850 and 1853, with the building designed from the start to combine marketplace operations on the ground floor and municipal administration upstairs. The structure received official recognition as a historical monument in 1985.
The ground floor was repurposed as a community hall in 1923, making it a central gathering place for local festivities and events. Residents continue to use this space for celebrations and meetings that bring the town together.
The building sits at Place de l'Ancienne Mairie and is easy to locate as a prominent structure in the town center. Access to the ground floor is straightforward, though upper-level administrative areas may have restricted hours or limited public access depending on municipal activities.
The roof structure displays special craftsmanship details that visitors often overlook when passing by the building. These construction elements are typical of mid-19th-century building techniques and reward closer inspection from outside.
