A major overnight fire has gutted Paris's oldest covered food market, the Marche Couvert des Enfants Rouges, located in the Marais district. The blaze left local traders devastated, and authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, noting that the historic market may remain closed for months.
Originally established in 1615, the market is a significant historical landmark in the French capital. Its distinctive name originates from the red outfits worn by orphans at a nearby hospital until 1772.
