The bar restaurant Au chien qui fume is installed in a simple building dating from the 19th century, and was one of the very famous places of the Halles. The shopfront is decorated with four panels fixed under glass each adorned with a dog smoking and with a large number of texts: onion soup, snails, salmon, orchestra. Inside survives the wooden counter decorated too with heads of smoking dogs.
