Les Halles in the morning outside one of the Baltard pavilions, Pavillon 3, the meat pavilion (pavillon de la viande) in rue Rambuteau. The meat inspector recognisable in his "uniform" of a flat cap has helped the meat porter - one of the elite "forts des Halles - to pull the meat out into the open into the street from inside the storage area of the meat pavilion on the left. They are being observed by the customer in his dark coat and flat hat who is standing looking at the carcass before it is loaded on to a lorry. Rue Rambuteau in the carreau forain, Quartier des Halles, 1er arrondissement, Right Bank, Paris, France, circa 1960s.
