Melle - Les halles

The market hall in Melle was erected in the early 20th century, replacing a wooden. Mid 19th century architect Victor Baltard had started to built Les Halles in Paris from iron and glass. This was a great technical innovation - and market halls in the "Style Baltard" were built all over France. One of them here in Melle.

When I walked into Melle, I saw posters and learned that this was the last evening of the "Boulevard du Jazz 2015"! So after a rest and a shower - I was back in the center of Melle in the early evening.
