Halle dite marché Forville

The Forville Market, located in the historic center of Cannes, occupies an entire block, presenting a massive structure that contrasts with the surrounding small townhouses and narrow streets. Constructed between 1929 and 1932 using masonry and reinforced concrete, it replaced the former market that was inaugurated in 1884. The architect Henri Bret, originally from Draguignan and educated in Paris, designed the new Forville Market. Known for his contributions to the Côte d'Azur, Bret's work primarily reflects the Art Deco style, with villas and buildings in Cannes, Saint-Raphaël, and Sainte-Maxime.
