The history of Les Halles food market 

in Paris

Long known as the central food market for Paris, Les Halles began as a dry goods market, outside what was then the city, before ending up as its central food market. 


In 1874, Émile Zola wrote a novel set in the market, named The Belly of Paris. And so it remained for almost a century. In a city full of markets, Les Halles was the grandest and drew crowds not only for its dizzying array of foods, but for its neighbouring restaurants and other pleasures, and now, for the magnificence of Baltard’s glass and iron pavilions.
