"Aux Halles, aprés douze heures de marché. Les halles centrales de Paris, cet immense marché central de Paris connaissent en ce moment une activité dix fois supérieure a celle de l'hiver. En effet, nous sommes en pleine période d'arrivage des primeurs. De minuit a midi, des milliers de voitures lourdement chargées stationnent autour des halles et la préfecture de police a reglementé la circulation dans ces parages. Le déblaiement des Halles, aprés l'avalanche quotidienne des primeurs. Au fond l'église Saint Eustache".
(In the Halles market, after twelve hours of the market. The central Halles de Paris, this important Paris fresh food market, is experiencing activity ten times greater than winter's. Indeed, we are amid the arrival of early fruits and vegetables. From midnight to noon, thousands of heavily loaded cars parked around the market, and the police headquarters regulated traffic around this area. The Halles Market's garbage pick-up after the daily avalanche of early fruits and vegetables. In the background, The Saint Eustache church.)
We will ship the piece in a mat (17 x 13 in) that fits a standard-sized frame.
Note: Les Halles was Paris's central fresh food market. It was demolished in 1971 and replaced by the Westfield Forum des Halles, a modern shopping mall constructed underground and directly connected to the RER and métro transit hub.
In the 11th Century, a market grew by a cemetery to the northwest of Paris in an area called the Little Fields (Champeaux). It was mainly a dry goods and money-changing shopping market.
In 1183, Philip Augustus took control of the market and built two market halls (Halles) to protect the textiles. Then, when he constructed walls around the city of Paris, these embraced the market, which quickly became the city's largest (and, over time, went from being at the edge to its center). Officially, it would remain a dry goods market for centuries, but food stalls soon grew around the main buildings, and by the 15th Century, food prices at Les Halles were cited as significant for the whole city. The market would have ups and downs over the coming centuries and was renovated more than once. Over time, an increasing number of halls were built explicitly for food.
Unable to compete in the new market economy and need of massive repairs, the colorful ambiance once associated with the bustling area of merchant stalls disappeared in 1971 when Les Halles was dismantled; the wholesale market relocated to the suburb of Rungis. Two glass and cast iron market pavilions were dismantled and re-erected elsewhere; one in the Paris suburb of Nogent-sur-Marne, the other in Yokohama, Japan.
