Marché de La Chapelle

The Marché de La Chapelle, also known as Marché de l’Olive, is a covered market in Paris’s 18th arrondissement. It stands in La Chapelle, within Paris’s 18th arrondissement. Architect Auguste-Joseph Magne built the hall between 1883 and 1885, drawing on Baltard’s central Paris halls. Its architecture follows the Baltard style of Paris’s central halls. The hall has held historical-monument status since 1982, marking its architectural importance in Paris. Restoration work took place in 1958 and 2010. The later restoration strengthened the structure and renewed the roof and facade panels around the market interior. Modular stands shape the market’s practical interior space. Inside, you can find African and Moroccan specialities alongside traditional groceries, flowers, meat, cheese, and organic goods. Food stalls give the hall its everyday purpose. Rue de Torcy, Rue de la Martinique, Rue de la Guadeloupe, and Rue de l’Olive frame the building. Each side of the building has an entrance. The site also recalls the medieval Lendit fair and the nineteenth-century cattle market once associated with this area. After the First World War, the building became a food market.
