EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Le Faou's covered market, or Les Halles, in the heart of Brittany, France, circa 1902. Located in the picturesque town of Le Faouet, in the Morbihan department, this marketplace was once a vibrant hub of local life. The image reveals a multitude of vendors displaying their fresh produce and wares, including fish, meat, vegetables, and dairy products. The marketgoers, dressed in the traditional Breton attire of the time, are seen haggling over prices and exchanging friendly banter with the merchants. The covered market, with its high arched ceilings and wooden beams, provides shelter from the elements, allowing the market to thrive rain or shine. The town of Le Faouet, nestled in the beautiful countryside of Brittany, has a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. Its market, Les Halles, was a central part of the community, bringing people together to buy and sell goods and strengthening the bonds between neighbors. Sadly, this historic covered market is no longer standing. While the rest of the buildings in the area remain unchanged to this day, the passage of time and the march of progress have led to the demolition of Les Halles. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when communities were built around the shared experience of shopping at the local market. The image, from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of fresh food and human connection were cherished.
