Covered market
“In brick and freestone, with a metal frame, supported by cast-iron pillars, the hall of the covered market was built between 1863 and 1865 by the architect Louis-Michel Boltz and is typical second Empire work. The doors open onto the canal, to enable the market gardeners to unload their flat-bottomed craft. In the south-west corner, a niche was created in 1869 to receive the statue of the Petit Vigneron, by Bartholdi.”
