Les Halles, the giant central food market of Paris, operated all night. Outside Maurice Consibeque, a wholesale fruit and vegetable dealer, stacked fruit and vegetable crates and boxes are in the street, surrounding the traffic lights, having just been unloaded from the parked vehicle. Two men are arranging the display for the buyers to see. The fresh produce has to be sold by morning by 7 o'clock when the authorities start to remove anything blocking the free circulation of traffic in the roads. Quartier des Halles, 1er arrondissement, Right Bank, Paris, France, circa 1960s.
