Marché des Enfants-Rouges
39 rue de Bretagne
75003, PARIS
01.45.29.97.97
Here´s something original, permanent, fun, and free. The Marché des Enfants-Rouges (Market of Red Children!) is the oldest covered market in Paris, dating back to 1615 (that´s Louis XIII for the slow ones!). After a six year period of closure and threatened with the prospect of being leveled, this historic market was saved, refurbished, and re-opened only a few months ago, thanks to the insistence of local residents. Explore the finest of chocolate shops, health foods, cheeses, flowers, and oysters. And if you´re wondering about the name, well, the kids in the local orphanage in the 17th century wore red uniforms.
