Marché Saint-Germain (Saint-Germain market)
Rue Lobineau
Quartier de l'Odéon, 6th arrondissement
Paris, July 2002
“The marché Saint-Germain (Saint-Germain market) is a covered market built between 1813 and 1817 and located in Paris in the Odéon district (6th arrondissement). The Saint-Germain market was built on a rectangular plan of 92 meters by 75, framed by the streets of Seine to the east, Lobineau to the south, Mabillon to the west and Clément to the north. Originally, the Saint-Germain market and fair both depended on the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. In 1511, Abbot Guillaume Briçonnet had a double-roofed market hall built, which could accommodate 300 merchants and which was destroyed in a fire in 1762.” (Marché Saint-Germain, Wikipedia)
