The market hall in Arpajon , a French commune in the Essonne department in the Île-de-France region , was built in 1470. The market hall on the Place du Marché has been on the list of architectural monuments in France as Monument historique since 1921 .
The landlord Louis Malet de Graville had the market hall built. In 1821 it was bought by the municipality. While it was originally used for selling cattle, it has served as a market hall for every type of food in the region since 1922. In 1951 the wooden construction with a hipped roof was renovated.
The building consists of a 35 meter long hall, which is divided into three naves by pillars on sandstone bases. The width is 18 meters and the maximum height is 15 meters.
