Markets Paris 12th 75012

This is not a Baltard hall, but this market is worth of a visit by fans of architecture, with its frame which is a turned boat hull. The market extends well beyond the covered market, and has a wide range of merchants, florists, booksellers, merchants of home accessories and fabrics. It has a nice, popular and relaxed atmosphere. The prices are often interesting, but beware of the quality especially at Aligre market. Two stalls offer organic products with a Bio Cart option where fruits and vegetables are sold in bulk or kilograms. You will find the poulterer-tripe butcher Au Capon d'Aligre at the Jeanne-d'Arc market (13th) and Farm Aligre will makes you want to taste everything, because of the good smells of cooked meats that invades the atmosphere. Aligot is fabulous. Dubuisson the fishmonger sells only line caught fish or sea fish. You can also take a tasty snack break at the stand of Paul Vautrin who offers tasting plates, at Corossol, an Afro-Caribbean-Cajun or enjoy a plate of oysters accompanied by a glass of white wine. Among these institutions, you will find the Graineterie of Jose Ferre with its formica countertop.

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!
