"Baltard's name still evokes in all Parisians a symbolic landmark in the capital city which has now disappeared, the Halles de Paris (the Paris market). This extensive edifice made of iron and glass, so often imitated, was the origin of the architect's immense fame but also caused him to be misunderstood by some historians who refused to consider him the inventor of the project."
