Tips from the Community
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.

This small 15th-century castle, built of brick, has not undergone any restoration. In the 18th century, it still had a rectangular enclosure with four towers. Only a main residential building remains between two large square towers topped with high hipped roofs. The larger of the two towers features elegant mullioned windows. Some bays have retained medieval wrought-iron grilles.
