Les Halles de Niort (French pronunciation: [le al də njɔʁ], English: Niort Indoor Market) is a market hall in the town of Niort, in the French department of Deux-Sèvres. Niort has had covered markets since the 13th century and there have been three structures known as the "Halles de Niort".^[3] The original market buildings were located in the centre of the town on what is now Rue Victor Hugo, a pedestrianised shopping street. After these were demolished in 1793, Niort's market moved to its present site on the banks of the Sèvre Niortaise. The current building, consisting of a metal and glass pavilion atop a stone-built base, was inaugurated in 1871. It was inscribed as a monument historique and listed in the Base Mérimée in 1987.^[1]
