A fire destroyed the Marché des Enfants-Rouges, Paris’s oldest covered food market, in the early hours of Monday, authorities said.

The overnight blaze left the historic market “completely destroyed,” according to officials cited by Sky News and other outlets. France 24 reported that there were no casualties, but vendors lost their stalls and goods in the fire.

The market, a popular destination for both residents and tourists, takes its name from a 16th-century orphanage. Traders and local residents expressed shock and grief over the destruction, with some telling France 24 that the loss had left them feeling “orphaned.”
