Halles Castellane is Montpellier's iron-and-glass central market on Rue de la Loge, 25 stalls of cheese, oysters and produce a minute from the Comédie.

Halles Laissac packs 24 traders under a rebuilt rotunda on Place Alexandre Laissac in Montpellier, oyster and tielle counters pouring wine into the evening.

Halles Jacques Cœur feeds Antigone in Montpellier with 22 stalls, Tarbouriech oysters and lunch counters trading under the esplanade's neoclassical flats.
