The main argument of this research is based on the contribution of public markets as a potentiality in the development of sociability in cities. Public markets are part of the life of cities, especially in the Northeast, as they maintain an intimate and symbiotic connection with them, through the occupation of urban space, the color and disparity of the products sold, the human relationships and the cultural wealth they bring for the spaces entered. The market places have presented, throughout their historical trajectory, a peculiar nature that is attributed to them by various phenomena. They are produced in these places of confusion and mixture, forms of interaction indispensable to the social life and the sociability of cities. And in the present day, do they still play this role? What are the relationships and dynamics found in markets? How can we characterize these dynamics? The objective of this work is to evaluate the relations of the Municipal Market of Bayeux as an element in the enhancement of sociability.
