  "summary": "A fire has completely destroyed the Marché Couvert des Enfants Rouges, the oldest covered food market in Paris, according to authorities. Located in the Marais district, the popular street food venue has occupied the same space since 1615. Lieutenant Colonel Pierre de Bouvier reported that the market's metal structure partially collapsed during the overnight blaze, leaving nothing behind.\n\nThe market's name is derived from the red outfits worn by orphans at a nearby hospital until 1772, as noted by RTE News. Ariel Weil, the mayor of the central Paris district, stated that the worst was avoided and expressed relief that the fire was controlled without affecting neighboring buildings.",
