Hall Laissac, Market hall in Montpellier, France.

Halles Laissac is a modern market hall in Montpellier with around 24 stalls selling fresh vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, and regional specialties. The vendors are local producers and artisans who sell their goods directly to shoppers.

A market hall has stood at Place Alexandre Laissac since the 19th century; the present building, opened in 2018, replaced its predecessor on the same spot. The square is named after Alexandre Laissac, a Montpellier figure of the 19th century. The hall keeps the site's role as a covered food market in the city centre.

The hall's name comes from Place Alexandre Laissac, the square it faces. Shoppers come for the daily market and for seasonal events such as tastings held under the melon-shaped canvas roof. Vendors are local producers and artisans selling directly, so the stalls double as a meeting point for the neighbourhood.

The hall sits at Place Alexandre Laissac, a short walk west of Place de la Comédie and close to the Antigone district. It has entrances on several sides, and the stalls are arranged around a central aisle, so you can cross the hall on foot. Mornings are the busiest time for shopping.

The roof over the hall is a perforated canvas canopy by artist Mona Young-Eun Kim, cut and coloured to resemble a melon, a reference to the produce sold beneath it. Look up from the stalls to see the pattern of holes that filters daylight onto the market floor.
