The construction of this hall, in the neoclassic style, dates from the strart of the 19th century. It was a warehouse for the wheat which was harvested around Issoire. In 1942, the town council became concerned by lack of use of the builidng, and so in the 1950s the building became a community hall. So this traditional symbol changed to a modern gathering place for associations and the festive life of the town, giving great pleasure to all the inhabitants of Issoire.
