Marche Des Enfants Rouges

Marché des Enfants Rouges

The Marché des Enfants Rouges was the oldest covered market in Paris, France. It was established in 1615 as the "petit marché du Marais" and is located at 39 Rue de Bretagne in the Marais arrondissement. The market has been listed as a historic monument since 1982. The name in English translates as "Market of the Red Children", and refers to the nearby "Hospice des Enfants-Rouges" where orphans were clothed in red. On the night of October 12, 2026, a violent fire completely destroyed the historic covered market hall and its metallic structure. The fire caused extensive damage to approximately 1,000 square meters of the market, though no casualties or injuries were reported. Prior to its destruction, the market offered fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers and bread, as well as restaurants where shoppers could buy cooked meals.
