Puget’s two surviving built works, other than the displaced portal of the Toulon H�tel-de-Ville, are the Halle aux Poissons, a magnificent temple-like building in Marseille, and the famous Hospice de la Charit�, Marseille, for which his designs were accepted in 1671, though the building was not completed until 1747.

Halle aux Poissons (Halle Puget) was built to replace the old fish market, which has become too small after the expansion of the city. Built in the model of an ancient temple, its roof of tile rests on Ionic columns. It housed the fish and meat market in the seventeenth century. In 1887 it was transformed into a chapel, the hall had been walled and the columns recessed. After a restoration in 1987 it regained its original appearance.
