Marché des Enfants Rouges
The Marché des Enfants Rouges is the oldest covered market[1] in Paris, France. It was established in 1628[1] as the "petit marché du Marais" and is located at 39 Rue de Bretagne in the Marais (3rd) 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 (the color of charity).[2] The market offers fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers and bread, as well as restaurants where shoppers can buy cooked meals.[3]
