Rue des Oiseaux, Marché des Enfants-Rouges, in the evening. 3rd arrondissement
1907-1908
Frédéric Houbron captures a quiet, cobblestoned evening in Paris's 3rd arrondissement, peering down the narrow Rue des Oiseaux toward the historic Marché des Enfants-Rouges. The tall, shadowy buildings frame a lone figure walking away, while warm yellow lights glow from the windows in the distance, hinting at the bustling market life just around the corner. Created around 1907 as part of a documentation of old Paris, this atmospheric sketch feels like a fleeting snapshot of a city twilight, preserving the charm of a neighborhood that still exists today.
