Halles Castellane
Halle Castellane
A covered iron-framed market in the heart of the old town, offering Languedoc cheeses, oysters, prepared foods and local specialties.
Halles Castellane is the oldest indoor market in Montpellier. Its iron-frame structure dates from the 19th century, and its stalls sell Languedoc cheeses, Sète oysters, olives, cooked foods and bread. Some stalls will open oysters for you to eat on the spot with a glass of white wine. The market is busiest in the morning, and some stalls are closed on Sunday afternoons and Mondays. It is in the center of the shield-shaped district, a 5-minute walk from Place de la Comédie.
Opening hours
Mon–Sat 7:00 am–8:00 pm; Sunday mornings
