Les Halles at night on the corner of one of the meat pavilions. Unloading the night's deliveries of produce from delivery vans that have driven through and parked in the well lit covered roads linking the Baltard pavilions. There were no pallets or forklift trucks in Les Halles so deliveries had to be lifted by hand on to one of the many different designs of upright trolley or barrow. Butchers observed by an inspector wearing his customary flat cap have come with their upright barrows to collect boxes packed with small items of meat as they are being unloaded from the back of one of the vans by the deliveryman. The butchers are wearing long aprons. One of the butchers is leaning on his upright barrow awaiting his turn to load up with boxes. They are unloading sausages and meat products next to a lorry with "Primeurs" painted on the side - fruit and vegetables. Trying to hurry things along by leaning out of his window, the driver is watching the progress and hoping they will hurry up and get a move on. Baltard pavilions, Quartier des Halles, 1er arrondissement, Right Bank, Paris, France, circa 1960s.
