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.
The building opened in 2018 and replaced an older structure on the same site. It continues a long tradition of local commerce at Place Alexandre Laissac.
The space reflects how locals shop for fresh food daily, moving from stall to stall to find regional products and chat with vendors. The open layout brings people together around a shared routine of sourcing ingredients and discovering what's new.
The building is near Place de la Comédie and easy to reach on foot. Visitors should know that weekends get crowded, so weekday visits are more pleasant for browsing.
A colorful perforated canvas roof designed by artist Mona Young-Eun Kim covers the building and is shaped like a melon. This artwork blends modern design with a nod to the region's produce tradition.
