Yttermayn's "Saga of the Dragon Cult" OOC 2

[Leif]

My mailbox has been screwy, too. I just went through and deleted all messages. I guess it must be a problem woth the system.

For some reason this conversation about mailboxes put me in mind of a classic George Carlin bit. Most definitely not safe for work.

gee, making cracks about such a cheeky subject...........

"Mailbox" is not the first word that leaps to my mind from that performance.

But, hey, it beats "squat cobbler."

Ok, this wraps up the Standing Stones interlude. Is everyone still interested in DCC 17: Legacy of the Savage Kings?

Sorry, I missed your post.

Yes, les Halles are town markets. They always existed in Europe. Usually they would be in open air but as towns developed in middle ages, they got covered by a roof. we have many examples still in France, and still used by farmers or resellers to put their stalls. Then over time, they got walled up. You got some examples in Paris or major cities.
Les Halles would also be used for retailers - and still are today - whereby you as a butcher or flower shop owner - you can come very early in the morning (4am) to buy your stock for the week or half the week. Usually there is one major Halles in a city to accomodate all these shops.
The one in your picture is more likely to be for end-users coming to do their shopping: veggies, fruits, meat, sometimes craft stuff.
Personally I find this far better than supermarkets...

Middle-ages ones still have nice features like statues or measuring fonts to check the weight and pay the good price.. (major issue in those days)..

Well, @Scotley, smash + trip+disarm is a three trick pony!

@Amury,
I was watching a movie, Mea Culpa (2014) and I saw something. Now all of the speech is in French as the setting is in France so I had to look up something I saw. The situatin is this Albanin mobster is chasing this ten year old bow and the boy runs into some place marked as "Halles Municipales" The screen shot being below:

inside it looked like this:

My question is this: Is this an indoor market for farm produce to be sold? If so, the closest to that is what we call a farmer's market. I am just curious.
