The market was established in 1615 during the reign of Louis XIII in the upscale Marais district. It took its name from a nearby orphanage whose children wore red clothing.
The fire broke out at about 3 a.m. (9 p.m. ET), French media reported. Firefighters were still tamping down the smoldering ruins several hours later.
The cause of the fire is not yet known.

据法国媒体报道，火灾发生在凌晨3点左右（美国东部时间晚上9点）。几个小时后，消防员仍在扑灭仍在冒烟的废墟。
火灾原因尚不清楚。
