Halles, Administrative quarter in 1st arrondissement, Paris, France

The Les Halles district spans 0.412 square kilometers in central Paris, featuring a large underground shopping center beneath a modern glass canopy structure.

The area originated as Paris's central fresh food market in 1110 under Louis VI, operating until 1969 when operations transferred to the Rungis Market.

The Saint-Eustache Church, built between 1532 and 1640, stands as a testament to Gothic architecture with Renaissance decorative elements in the quarter.

The Châtelet-Les Halles station serves as the world's largest underground transit hub, connecting multiple metro lines and regional express trains.

The Renaissance-style Fountain of the Innocents, dating from 1549, remains positioned on Place Joachim du Bellay as the oldest public fountain in Paris.
