Reference: Scrap Metal Fair and Ham Fair (Foire a la Ferraille et Foire au Jambon) After being successively located on the Ile de la Cité, then on Quai des Grands-Augustins, Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Martin, and finally on Boulevard Bourdon, the Ham Fair was transferred in 1869, by order of the police, to Boulevard Richard-Lenoir, between Bastille and Boulevard Voltaire, where it occupied the central platform. Very early on, these food traders were joined by the flea market and antique and scrap metal dealers. The flea market, which took place from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday in 1940, resumed its biannual schedule after the Second World War, in spring and autumn. It became known as the Foire à la Ferraille - Foire au Jambon. In 1969, the Paris Police Prefecture moved the Fair to the Beaubourg Plateau, and in February 1970, the Paris Prefect transferred it to Chatou, outside Paris. In memory of its time in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, the alleys of the Chatou fair were named after streets and monuments there: Boulevard Richard-Lenoir, Allée du Chemin-Vert, and Allée Bataclan.
