Markets Ile-De-France

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.

The Crimée-Curial market is all about fruit and vegetables, with prices as friendly as the atmosphere. Alongside the clothing stalls, there's also a great fishmonger selling affordable produce. We really like this little market with its popular atmosphere and its proximity to Avenue Jean-Jaurès, which offers a wide range of pretty shops. Once you've done your shopping, it's time for a stroll around the neighborhood: to the east, the Buttes-Chaumont are just a few hundred meters away.

Between Rue du Mont-Cenis and Rue Ordener, this extensive market is popular and lively. Prices are attractive, and traders tend to sell off at the end of the market. Some regulars claim that the odd side is cheaper and more varied... To be seen. As well as fruit and vegetables, of course, this market offers oriental products, including a fine herb stand. More generally, it's hard not to find something to satisfy your cravings. Allow a good hour to discover all the stalls.

From boulevard Vincent-Auriol to rue Jeanne-d'Arc, this is not just a food market. At one time, the cheapest part of the market was at the bottom, near the Chevaleret metro station; the further up you went, the higher the prices... At peak times, it's hard to get around. Of particular note are the (many) organic fruit and vegetable stalls, an absolutely impeccable cheesemonger, and excellent breads and pastries. If you're a first-time visitor, allow a good hour to get through it all.

A big market with very interesting prices. It is mainly a fruit and vegetable market (nearly 70 stalls) and oriental products (bakery, spices); it lacks a traditional butcher shop, although there are several halal butcher shops. There are also many fishmongers, including one that sometimes sells sushi, and the Ferme de Savoie, a cheesemonger that offers a good selection of cheeses and fresh eggs. He is also present on the Alesia market (14th). This is one of the cheapest markets in the capital, along with the very popular and popular Barbès and Ornano markets. Tip: if you can, come as early as possible, so you can shop with peace of mind! You have been warned.

The population of this district has changed profoundly over the last decade, and is now full of young couples who love the markets. The bargains here are often good, especially at the end of the market! You'll come across bobos from the lower Butte and inhabitants of the more working-class neighborhoods nearby. You'll find the La Boule d'Anges bakery, also present at the d'Aguesseau (^8th) and Porte Molitor (^16th) markets, and the Quel bon vin wine shop. Afro-Caribbean and certified organic products are among the highlights.

Very or too busy on Sunday mornings, this large market, which goes from Place d'Italie to Rue Barrault, is not empty on the other days. Don't let the crowd, gathered here to enjoy with you the reasonable prices of the products on the shelves, stop you. In addition, you would miss a very wide offer. There is even a saleswoman selling Russian products. The people who visit this market sometimes come from neighboring cities, and it is understandable why: it is easily accessible and, once again, very well stocked. In short, it is one of the most important in the south of the capital, so you are warned!

At Miroir des Halles, you'll be able to stock up, not only for the home, but also for a good picnic on the banks of the Marne or a lunch on the grass, and just as well, since you're in the region of the painters. Enough of culture, let's get down to the business of shopping. You'll find on the stalls of this market gardener a colorful palette of fresh, appetizing fruits and vegetables that mark the seasons: strawberries, apricots, nectarines, apples, endives, leeks, cabbages and tutti quanti!

The 125-hectare farm provides educational support for students at the Lycée Bougainville, who then sell their produce at the Halles, located behind the school. The produce on offer includes organic fruit and vegetables, both raw and processed (soups and veloutés), Charolais beef and veal on request, and honey from the beekeeping workshop. Vegetable seedlings and aromatic plants are also available for sale.
