Sobre este lugar
Les Halles de Dijon is the city's covered central market and a listed nineteenth century monument. It was built between 1873 and 1875 on the site of a former Jacobin convent, in the great age of iron and glass market halls that also gave Paris its celebrated Halles. The design drew on plans proposed in 1868 by the company of Gustave Eiffel, the engineer born in Dijon who would later build his famous Paris tower, while the final scheme was drawn by municipal architect Louis Clement Weinberger and cast by the foundries of Fourchambault. Arranged around four pavilions and two crossing interior streets, the hall is decorated with carved animal heads, game, fish and vines, a sculpted menu of everything sold beneath. On market mornings it overflows with regional cheese, wine, pain d'epices and the mustard that made Dijon famous.
