Arpajon - La Halle
In 1470, Louis Malet Graville, Seigneur of Chartres, commissioned to build this hall, to create a prosperous market here. The rectangular hall is about 35 meters long and 18 meters wide, it is one of the largest in the region. 48 old oak beams on sandstone-foundations hold up the roof.

In 1820, the Duc Mouchy, descendant of the noble family, sold the hall to the city of Arpajon. Meanwhile the hall is well restorated and twice per week, here is the market.
