The Halle ronde (the "round hall") in the French municipality of Givry was built between 1825 and 1830. It was designed by the regionally known architect Lazare Narjoux. It originally served as a grain hall (Halle au blé) to supply the surrounding mills and the population with grain. Due to its rare, circular design, the market hall has been classified as a historic monument since 1931.
