Les Halles at night in the Meat Pavilion - le pavillon de la viande. A bone saw is secured with rope on a carcass. The butcher's knives and sharpening steel are behind the saw, contained in a rigid open carrying case. The case was a knife block carried rather dangerously like an improvised open haversack which the butchers brought with them to work on a length of chain slung over one shoulder and carried behind them lying flat against their backs. Pavillon 3, Quartier des Halles, 1er arrondissement, Right Bank, Paris, France, circa 1960s.
