Les Halles at night. Two men are chatting quietly at the bar of Au Pied de Cochon. One is wearing a French beret and has a bowl of onion soup and an empty bread basket in front of him. Next to them is a wall painting depicting a pig riding on the back of a devil. Au Pied de Cochon was divided into two parts, one for tourists which was much more expensive and one for the workers of Les Halles who paid a greatly reduced price for their onion soup and would stand at the counter and break through the crust of grilled onion on top to get at the soup. The part reserved for tourists and people having a night out was separated from the bar by a screen, but the staff at the bar would not turn away people having a night out if they came into the bar rather than going in the restaurant. Photographer Harold Chapman recalls that in the bar of Au Pied de Cochon, "I was behind the counter - they let me take pictures there occasionally when they were not too busy and I would not be in the way. The men were drinking red wine." Rue Coquilliere, Les Halles, 1er arrondissement, Right Bank, Paris, France, circa 1960s.
