Abstract
For more than eight hundred years, the city of Paris had grown accustomed to viewing the Halles area as a lived-in space where a flourishing commerce was practised and which was an appropriate place to purchase basic necessities. But, as in many other situations, everything has its moments of glory, and the conditions and aspects that lead to decadence are almost never of sublimation. The remarkable success of the novel The Womb of Paris, published in 1873, masterfully conceived by Émile Zola, gave prominence to a marketplace that quickly exceeded the literary imagination and distinguished itself as an urban space of excellence.
