A fire early on Monday has destroyed the French capital's oldest covered food market, a popular street food venue named after red-clad orphans, authorities said.
The Marché Couvert des Enfants Rouges (Red Children's Market) in the Marais district of Paris, which has existed since 1615, draws its name from the red outfits that orphans wore at a hospital originally located near the site of the market. The market was given its name at the end of the 18th century after the hospital closed in 1772.
The US magazine Food & Wine had ranked it fifth worldwide for street food this year, after other eating spots in London, Bangkok, the French city of Lyon and Mexico City.
The area around the market smelt charred on Monday morning, while a thick layer of firefighting foam covered the pavement in front of one of the market's entrances, an AFP reporter said.

One more French Tourist destination, up in smoke, courtesy of the New Taliban. Pouf!
We may never know who set it on fire. Or why. It is a mystery. And we shall not even mention a possible cause.
A certain demographic objecting to pork products?
No mention of how it started in the article. I’ll go right ahead and assume muslims.
“ One more French Tourist destination, up in smoke, courtesy of the New Taliban. Pouf!”
Tge French notoriously despise tourists esp in Paris. It’s not a tourist spot as much as an institution
And it’s not one more. It’s one of many to cone.
The first wave. The softening up forces.
Marine Le Pen is all that stands between France and the Sharia Law abyss.
I know a Biden/Harris supporter who says of migrants, no kidding, “Those poor people!”
Absolute mush for brains... More common than we want to believe.

Marché Couvert des Enfants Rouges (Red Children's Market)
Burn baby burn!
France makes a lot of their GDP based on being a charming and beautiful coounty - that's being destroyed.
Of more interest is who organized the midlevel leaders. The issue isn’t the issue, it always comes down to the revolution.
I’ve never been to France, but somebody I know who did visit there told me that the river seine smells like shite... And since they have been sh*tting in it for 2,000 years... I guess that makes sense.
Imagine that. The same market even survived the Nazi’s. Islam is the most deadly form of Cancer.
They’re doing to France what they did to Gaza after the Israelis gave them a thriving infrastructure.
its also why the haute couture houses are so good at perfume.
