Halle aux grains d'Aix-en-Provence, 18th-century grain hall in Aix-en-Provence, France.

The stone building features classical facades with a central pediment adorned with sculptures between Place de l'Hotel-de-Ville and Place Richelme.

Construction of this grain hall began in 1717 under architect Georges Vallon and completed in 1765 to address the needs of the local market.

Sculptor Jean-Pancrace Chastel created the allegorical group on the pediment depicting the Rhone and Durance rivers as fertility deities.

The building currently houses postal services, municipal offices, and a branch of the Les Méjanes library.

The facades and roofs of this historical monument received special protection through classification by decree on March 21, 1983.
