Many thanks to Dealey and Vlakhaas for their contribution too.

For more than 800 years Les Halles was the “stomach” of Paris (so named by Zola in one of his novels). All the fresh produce required by the capital was to be found in this mythical location. The quarter wascomposed by ten huge metallic pavillions, with fishmongers, butchers and farmers emerging in the streets to sell their wares to residents and restaurateurs alike. During the 1960’s it became clear that the markets were too big a burden for the continually expanding city, the fleet of trucks required to stock them causing regular traffic chaos. A decision was made to move the markets to a more practical location well outside the city limits, an enormous replacement being constructed at Rungis in 1969. This meant of course the destruction of the historic quarter of Les Halles with its metallic architecture so typical of the 19th century, a prime example of this the iron Pavillions of the architect Baltard.
