Berlioz’s Birthplace – La Côte Saint-André
The Halles market
The Halles, a vaulted timbered structure, was built in the late 13th century by Maître Jacques de St Georges. Thursdays have traditionally been the market day and the Halles still attracts many people from La Côte and surrounding towns and villages, who come to purchase agricultural and dairy produce and other goods.
