About Old Market Square
Le Vieux Marché is a stunning covered market hall located in the heart of Étretat on Place Maréchal Foch. Despite its medieval appearance, this timber-frame masterpiece was actually built between 1926-1928 by architect Émile Mauge using recycled wood from demolished houses in Brionne. The building features an impressive ochre facade with ornate woodwork and a distinctive pointed clock tower, constructed by the elite Compagnons du Tour de France craftsmen.

The politician who championed the market's construction, François Jeanne, was so unpopular due to the project's cost that he lost his seat in the following election. In a twist of irony, the town later honored him by naming the adjacent public garden "Jardin François Jeanne" - recognizing that his controversial vision became the beloved centerpiece of Étretat.
