Markets Paris

Always elegant, right in the heart of the ^6th arrondissement, the Saint-Germain market reopened its doors in 2017 after a major transformation that in no way detracted from the beauty of the place. The work has restored the market's architectural credentials, and the shops on site (greengrocers, fishmongers, cheesemongers...) now benefit from a site that's as functional as it is beautiful. Food markets, grocery stores and other major brands are open 7 days a week, with shorter opening hours on Sundays. A lovely whiff of neighborhood life.

Welcome to the oldest food market in Paris! The atmosphere here is more family-friendly, bobo style. All the main food trades are represented, with the presence of a few organic producers and oyster farmers. Few fruits and vegetables, however, and prices are at the higher end of the range. People come to Les Enfants-Rouges as much to shop as to eat. The choice is varied, with stands offering Moroccan, Italian, Asian and Lebanese specialties... Some of which you can sample on the spot.

To be precise, the Beauvau market is the covered market, held under the beautifully framed halle. The Marché d'Aligre, on the other hand, brings together the Halle Beauvau and the outdoor stalls. It's one of the capital's most popular markets. It's a very competitively priced market, with a majority of vendors selling fruit and vegetables, as well as vintage objects. For fish, meats, cheeses, and pastries, it's under the covered market hall.

In this neighborhood (behind the Ecole Militaire and the Unesco headquarters), where there are not many shops, this large and beautiful market takes place on the central median of the Avenue de Saxe twice a week, under the greedy eye of the Eiffel Tower. It has a bit of a village atmosphere. The prices charged are at the top end of the range. On the other hand, the products are of high quality. There are plenty of four-season merchants, several producers' stands (poultry, vegetables...), excellent fishmongers and a very good tripe maker... But it would be an insult to the other merchants present not to say that their products are also first-rate.

Located between rue de Charenton and place Félix-Eboué, it is the longest market in Paris with its 1,385 linear meters. It extends on both sides of boulevard de Reuilly with its lions spitting water jets as a welcome. There is always a crowd rushing between the stalls of the 80 merchants. A wide choice, quality products and reasonable prices given the abundance and competition. A good organic area and producers who sell directly are also available. We can spend hours here, so it should be noted that you have two weekly options to get to this great market: Tuesday and Friday!

Smaller in size than the large Sunday market on Boulevard Raspail, the Batignolles organic market brings together some of the finest organic farmers in the Paris region. You can fill your shopping bag with bread, pastries, cheeses and other dairy products, fruit and vegetables, meat, poultry, fish... Stop off at Philippe Grégoire, cheese maker, Michel Renard, market gardener, and Laure and Mathieu Thiriet, butchers. A few steps away, some nice cafés open their arms to you for a break on the terrace. A real moment of relaxation to start the weekend well. Although it is very busy, this market is not overrun by crowds.

A vast or rather long market on a street where many shops (perfumeries, bookshops...) are open on Sunday mornings. Stalls can be found on both sides of rue de la Convention, between the crossroads with rue de Vaugirard and rue de l'Abbé Groult. The narrow sidewalks make it difficult to get around, and many locals bring their families, baby carriages and carts to the market. And don't forget that some of the shops sell only organic produce.

It is located in the middle of the buildings of this Place des Fêtes, the heart of a popular neighborhood that evolves for good very quickly in recent years. It is a shaded market with a total of sixty shops of all kinds. They align themselves on both sides of the street and on the square. It is animated and the products are generally of good quality. Some twenty greengrocers and many foreign specialties and non-food products, from plastic boxes to sewing thread. It attracts many people, mainly on Sunday, when many inhabitants of the arrondissements of the east, and neighboring towns come. It must be said that the place is well served: the metro, of course, but also many bus lines, and the tramway a few hundred meters away.

On the central alley of boulevard Raspail, between rue de Rennes and rue du Cherche-Midi, here's a very Left Bank market. It's certainly the most chic organic market in the capital - hence the high end of the price range - and certainly the oldest. You're sure to find quality and freshness here. You'll find mostly seasonal fruit and vegetables, meats and poultry, cheeses and dairy products, pastries and breads.

This pleasant neighborhood market, a few steps from the Montparnasse tower and close to the Place de Catalogne, is small since it only covers two aisles. But it offers everything you need to fill your pantry/fridge and eat healthy and organic. You will find merchants of the four seasons, as well as cheesemongers, butchers, fishmongers, caterers (who also offer bread and pastries), grocery stores, wine shops... Rigorous professionals ready to inform you about the origin of their products. Here we play the transparency! You will appreciate finding a wide range of vegetables full of resources: sweet potatoes, Japanese mushrooms..

On the edge of the square of the same name, this charming market looks like a family stroll, provided you don't mind the crowds, which are often packed, especially on Sunday mornings. You'll find mainly fruit and vegetable vendors, some of them more chic and expensive than others. It's a pleasant market, with smiling traders and mostly regular customers. A delicatessen with delicious ready-made meals also has a stand here; frankly, it's our favorite!

Between avenue de la Porte-de-Ménilmontant and rue Maurice-Berteaux, this market takes place just a stone's throw from this charming area dubbed "the countryside of Paris", which still includes a few houses and peaceful gardens. By contrast, the market is located on the nearby Boulevard Mortier. It took a while for the market to get back up to speed, having lost much of its splendor during the tramway works a few years ago. There are a good twenty traders, mainly in the food sector.

This market, which has existed since the end of the ^19th century, was completely renovated a few years ago. Farewell to the town criers of yesteryear, the place is now home to an organic supermarket called the "5 Farms", offering delicious products produced in a short circuit. And that's not all: the site also boasts a café, a gym and a restaurant. It's not just another market, or even another covered market, but rather a concept. We're sure we'll give it a try.

It's the heart of this district in the throes of "boboïsation"! This covered market hall, with its Baltard-style metal structure - which has become rather rare in the capital - is home to some twenty traders: from market gardeners to cheesemongers, as well as caterers and a few food courts. This popular market is mainly frequented by local residents, but also increasingly by tourists, who find the place so French. The market is surrounded by small pedestrian streets with numerous terraces

This market hall, with the market's name in large red letters on the outside and part of its facade in glass tiles, dates from the 1950s. It houses around twenty stalls, displaying quality products at rather high prices. Androuet offers a fine selection of cheeses, while a little further on, a merchant of the four seasons seduces shoppers with his organic fruit and vegetables. In addition to florist Stéphane Bellot and crêperie Maison Belleguic, other market gardeners, butchers and caterers are also present..

Welcome to the largest covered market in Paris under a Baltard hall. If you don't know it yet, run there. In addition to the large number of food shops, including caterers specializing in foreign cuisine, you will find a drugstore and hardware store, which is becoming increasingly rare. There are of course great food products here, but also (and more and more) flowers. Finally, there are many tourists, including foreigners, who find the place "so French". We won't miss enjoying it, and there are always those who will find that the place is less typical than before. Not wrong, but not enough not to go there.

From the old architecture, four stone porches that blend perfectly into the modern facade have been preserved. This market is different, with its outward-facing businesses that offer shoppers services that complement the food products offered indoors. It is very lively, almost bubbling at certain times of the day, especially on Sunday mornings. On the other hand, few stands, so few choices but well selected and of high quality. The "Mille et une spécialités (Thousand and One Specialities) butcher's shop is interesting for its good value for money. Les Jardins d'Anthony by Sébastien Manier is a beautiful greengrocer stand that inspires the young chef Brice Morven for his restaurant Au comptoir de Brice, located in the heart of the market. Italian and Afro-Caribbean specialties, Aunt Emma and her German products, an organic square and a shoemaking and locksmith shop. For a few months now, the market has been home to La Pépinière Village, a kind of springboard for young chefs who are taking their first steps in this workshop-boutique. There are pastries, wine, smoothies, tapas, etc.

When you arrive at this market, wedged between rue d'Auteuil and rue Jean-de-la-Fontaine, you feel a little like you're in a village square (normal, you might say, since you're north of the village of Auteuil). Just ignore the noise of the cars. A greengrocer who always has exotic fruit, several organic stands offering fine produce and old-fashioned vegetables, butchers and charcutiers... This well-stocked food market is reasonably priced: let's face it!

It's certainly one of the capital's most important markets (although its location has since been moved, it's the historic market in the village of Grenelle, a commune incorporated into Paris in 1860). The stalls are spread around a single alley beneath the aerial metro between La Motte-Piquet and Dupleix. Handy when it rains! On Sunday mornings, it's all the rage, and you have to elbow your way through. Four-season merchants, fishmongers, butchers, delicatessens, cheesemongers, patissiers, numerous organic stalls..

It's more like a large, quiet, traditional market, set up on the boulevard Edgar-Quinet median strip. Prices are fairly reasonable. Virtually all food trades are represented: market gardeners, of course, but also fishmongers, butchers, poulterers, cheesemongers, olive merchants... Not forgetting a few stalls selling foreign specialities. While you're shopping, take a look at the various jewelry, clothing, shoe and basket stalls that have taken over the market: you might even pick up a bargain.
