Les Halles at night looking across the lit up square of Place des Halles. The famous cafe, Au Chien Qui Fume, is in the background in the rue du Pont-Neuf. A porter has rented two heavy wooden and metal barrows ("diables") and is manoeuvring one of them in order to heave it upside down on to the other. With one balanced on top of the other he could then take the two empty barrows to where he would pick up goods to deliver them to customers. Photographer Harold Chapman recalls that... "it didn't look comfortable, it was very like a dance, but they must have practised no end to be able to do it. Pushing and pulling heavily loaded barrows through Les Halles to make deliveries, they could double the amount of money that they could earn." In front of Au Chien Qui Fume, Quartier des Halles, 1er arrondissement, Right Bank, Paris, France, circa 1960s.
