A fire overnight has ravaged the Marché des Enfants-Rouges, a covered food market in Paris, the capital of France. The market is believed to be the oldest food market in the city and was popular with both locals and tourists.

According to France 24, there were no casualties in the blaze. However, the market's vendors have lost everything they had there. The market's history has also been damaged in a way that cannot be replaced.

The source report does not say what caused the fire, how extensive the damage is, or whether the market will be rebuilt. Those questions remain unanswered for now.
