French covered Market (16th century) (Monpazier/FR)
A 16th-century covered market at the Place de Cornieres. It's very nice to see how it's constructed with lot of wooden beams, a heavy roof and without any wall surrounding.
Inside three antique grain measures used for trade. The location still has an important role for commerce and trade, most of these covered markets are still in use today.

July 2017, Covered market (Est. 16th-century) after +/-467 years in history. The year 2050 marks 500 years in the timeline of its history.

Monpazier: Urban Photography
The small village Monpazier, a 13th-century bastide town, founded in 1285 and built by King Edward I of England for trade, commerce and justice. It almost didn't change in the past centuries, a medieval town square lined with an arched arcade, a 16th-century covered market, three of the original six rampared city gates remain and many other traces of medieval history. This picturesque small village is one of the "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France" villages, said to be one of the most atractive in southwest France.
