Dupuytren's market, moved to Carnot square in the middle of the 19th century in Limoges

In the middle of the 19th century, the Dupuytren halls, which had become too small, were moved to Place Carnot (where they still are), and made way for the present building. The construction of these central halls took two years, from 1887 to 1889. Led by two of Gustave Eiffel's collaborators, Pesce and Levesque, they carried out the order in the spirit of their colleague's metal structures, unsuccessfully requested by the town hall. This rectangular building is a beautiful example of late 19th century industrial architecture. Like the Benedictine railway station, it has an iron structure that shares the space with granite, brick and glass. More than 300 porcelain panels decorate the façade. They represent the products of the stalls. Listed as a Historic Monument in 1976, the covered market has since been restored. Today it is a temple of good food. The stalls count as the best in the city. The products can be eaten in two restaurants located inside the building. Renovation work has been carried out in recent months. Everything has been redesigned with restaurants and terraces, tasting counters and tables and a craft showroom. Also to be seen, a magnificent chandelier of ladles in Limoges porcelain.

C' est un Grand bâtiment avec de belles structures métalliques en plein centre de Limoges qui abrite un très beau marché authentique avec la vente de nombreux produits locaux. Vous pouvez les déguster sur place , ils sont excellents!

Ah, les halles de Limoges et leur marché! Le soubassement en brique, les grandes fenêtres arquées, la charpente intérieure en bois, l'architecture métallique associée à la frise de porcelaine : ces alliances expriment toute l'originalité de ce vaste bâtiment. Le visiteur appréciera s'y arrêter pour grignoter un bout, boire un verre, assis au coin d'une table bois rustique. Par contre, les tarifs pour y faire son marché sont exorbitants et c'est bien dommage...
