THE HALLS
The Halles de Clisson, classified as a Historic Monument since 1923, are in the heart of the medieval city. These halls, which housed the markets, were built in the 15th century on the initiative of Duke Francis II. They have had black chapters, as in the Vendée wars; this place served as a refuge for fighters from both sides. Restored many times, they have kept their original look. They are supported by a remarkable framework composed of different species (fir, chestnut, oak), the architectural opulence testifies to the intensity of the trade practiced in Clisson and the richness of the city. The halls extend from Saint-Jacques Street to the southern end of Place Notre-Dame. Today, they still house its famous market on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Rien qu'à lever la tête pour en admirer l'architecture nous sommes comme catapultés au Moyen-Age à imaginer la vie à cette période...
Exceptionnel à découvrir les jours de marché mais pas que...
Ne pas passer à Clisson sans s'y arrêter un moment.
