The name in English translates as "Market of the Red Children", and refers to the nearby "Hospice des Enfants-Rouges" where orphans were clothed in red (the color of charity).[2] The market offers fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers and bread, as well as restaurants where shoppers can buy cooked meals.[3]
