The food pavilions of Les Halles were dismantled in 1971 (random fact: one of them was re-erected in Yokohama, Japan).

So, the area is still catering to Le Ventre de Paris. Emil Zola might take note.

All that glitters is sometimes copper. Scenes like this make me wish I loved cooking, ma chere ! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteE.Dehillerin? I'm not much of a cook but I can still appreciate these beautiful tools of the trade.
