Student protests in France continue as the historic market of Paris burned down this morning.

According to Ambassador Arjan, quoted by Ryan News, according to local French authorities, the famous and historical market "Anfan Rouge", which is one of the tourist attractions in the center of Paris, was completely destroyed due to a fire.

The fire occurred on Monday morning. French media reports confirmed that the fire was contained, but the market was badly damaged and the scene was almost completely destroyed.

The fire was contained, but the metal structure of the market collapsed and the covered market was completely destroyed. One firefighter suffered minor injuries and no other casualties have been reported as of press time.

Anfan Rouge market was established in 1615 and is considered the oldest covered food market in Paris. This collection was registered in the list of historical works of France in 1982. The Paris prosecutor's office has started an investigation to determine the origin of the fire. The cause of the accident has not yet been announced.
