Fish Market of Trouville-sur-Mer, Historical fish market in Trouville-sur-Mer, France
The fish market of Trouville-sur-Mer is a 700 m² hall on Boulevard Fernand-Moureaux, built in reinforced concrete by the Hennebique method and clad in half-timbering to give it a Neo-Norman look. Its steep orange-tiled roof carries dormer windows and a small square tower with a pyramidal roof at one end; banners read "QUESNEY MAREE" and faint lettering "HALLES ET MAREE" marks the timber band above the shops.
The fish market was built in 1936 to designs by Trouville architect Maurice Vincent with Marcel Davy and Maurice Halley, after a competition launched by mayor Fernand Moureaux. It was inscribed as a monument historique on 14 September 1992. A fire on 24 September 2006 badly damaged the building, which was then rebuilt to its original design.
