Covered market, a very nice structure like this in most villages. A location for events and local market events.

Pays de Belves - Pays-de-Belvès, previous name Belvès, fortified in the Middle Ages because of its strategic position and came to be known as the "Pope’s city" as it was under Clement V protection. Belvès still bears witness to a tormented past with fortified walls, a castrum (fortified camp), an 11th century auditeur’s tower, 14th-15th century castle and belfry, city hall tower, covered market, hotel with a Renaissance façade and even some ancient troglodyte dwellings. It has been designated as one of the prettiest towns in France with impressive panoramic views on top of a hill, enough reason to be member of the "Plus Beaux Villages de France".
