The name — "Red Children's Market" — comes from a 16th-century almshouse next door whose orphans wore red uniforms.

A perfect lunchtime stop in the Haut Marais — cramped, lively, and zero pretension. Grab a Moroccan tagine from Le Traiteur Marocain, a sandwich from L'Estaminet, or just wander with a crêpe in hand. There are a handful of communal tables but seating is rough at peak times; come at 11:30 or after 14:00. Pair easily with a Marais wander.
