Market Hall

The Halles of Bergerac, the covered market in the heart of the city

On the Place Louis de la Bardonnerie, the Halles of Bergerac have housed the covered market of the city since the nineteenth century. Recently renovated, they are a must-see place of life. The Bergerac audio-guided tour stops here to evoke this gourmet market, a symbol of the heritage and the local way of life.

A Baltard-style market hall

The Halles of Bergerac were built in the nineteenth century in the Baltard style, like in Paris, combining iron, cast iron and glass. This covered market, a symbol of the local heritage, has enlivened the city centre for generations. Renovated in the early 2020s, the space was redesigned and modernised, while keeping its original charm, to become a new place of life of the city.

What to see

Here you wander between the stalls of fresh and local produce, in a renovated iron-and-glass structure. The Halles are the ideal place to discover the flavours of the Bergeracois and observe the daily life of the city. It is a gourmet and convivial stop, in the heart of the historic centre.
