EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily hustle and bustle of Les Halles, the historic marketplace in the heart of Paris, France, during the 1960s. At the center of the scene, a meat porter, dressed in a white apron and sweat-stained shirt, expertly maneuvers a large carcass on his shoulders. The porter's strong and muscular build is a testament to the physical demands of his labor-intensive job. Surrounding the porter, a lively market scene unfolds. Butchers in blood-spattered aprons busily cut and sell various cuts of meat to customers, while shoppers haggle over prices and select their purchases. The vibrant colors of the produce and the rich aromas of the cooking meats fill the air, creating a sensory feast for the senses. Les Halles, which opened in 1183, has long been a symbol of Parisian life and a hub for local food trade. The marketplace was a gathering place for farmers, traders, and consumers, and played a crucial role in the city's food supply. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich history and traditions of Parisian food culture during the 1960s.
