The Halles market in Béziers, located in the city's historic center, has just won the eighth season of the"Your most beautiful market" competition, succeeding Niort, the 2024 winner. The Baltard-style building, dating from 1890, was renovated in 2024. Open every day except Monday, it combines food shops and restaurants in a friendly southern atmosphere.
The public vote, which ran from April 28 to May 30, named Les Halles de Béziers as the favorite of 24 finalist markets. A super jury comprising Évelyne Dhéliat, Jacques Legros, chef Yves Camdeborde and three television viewers confirmed this choice on June 13. The municipality of Béziers had also run a dynamic promotional campaign on social networks to mobilize votes.
The Royan market (Poitou-Charentes) came second, followed by the Bergues market (Nord-Pas-de-Calais). Other regional markets such as Loches, Sélestat and Saint-Pierre in La Réunion also feature in the top 10.
