Les Halles in winter in the area known as the carreau forain. Outside Baltard pavilion 11 on the corner of rue Pierre Lescot, a public urinal is much in demand during a pre-Christmas market, with men using the cylindrical facility and men outside queueing in the cold. At this time, public urinals were dwindling in number in Paris. An apt advertisement on the outside of the urinal promotes the famous French product PURODOR for eliminating bad odours in the home. Bunches of mistletoe are on the ground nearby. A boy standing on a low wall has made a pitch of mistletoe in front of the pissoir. Children in a family business can work. Quartier des Halles, 1er arrondissement, Right Bank, Paris, France, circa 1960s.
