Fire tears through Paris' oldest covered market, Enfants Rouges

Fire tore through the Marché des Enfants Rouges in Paris in the early hours of October 12, 2026. The hall in Paris Centre, founded in 1615, is the capital's oldest covered food market and a popular street-food venue. Sapeurs-pompiers extinguished the blaze. No injuries were reported. Recovery will hinge on damage assessment and heritage rules.
