Our favorites markets in Paris :


Marché Rue Cler 


Located in the 7th arrondissement, not far from the Alma Bridge and the Ecole Militaire, the market of Rue Cler is a destination for great food shopping in Paris.
Twenty years ago, rue Cler was a nice little pedestrian street, great for a weekly shopping trip to a few favorite stores for meat, fish, greens and cheese.
Over the years, it ihas truly flourished !
There are more food shops, better specialties and the pedestrian area devoted to food has rown larger.
Get there early as it becomes extremely crowded after 11 am on Sundays.
Being near rue Cler is one of the great pleasures of living in Paris, whether for a week or a lifetime !
Huge choice : Fruits and vegetables (Halles Bosquet, Les quatre Saisons), flowers stand, Italian gastronomy (Deli Zius, Davoli), olive oil (Olivier & Cie), Chinese takeaway, pastry (Lenôtre), cheese (la Fermette, Marie Cantin), meat (Boucheries Coucaud), roasted chickens (Darius Rotisserie), fish (La Sablaise), wine (Bacchus), chocolate (Leonidas), coffee store...




Covered market Les Enfants Rouges


Les Enfants Rouges is the oldest covered market in Paris, renovated in the late 90's, and one of the oldest in France. This small market is located in the 3rd arrondissement, and is worth seeing in the occasion of a walking tour of le Marais.

39, rue de Bretagne
Tuesday from Saturday from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM and from 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM
Sunday from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM





Le Marché Montorgueil


Les Halles, Paris's most famous market, is no more, but Rue Montorgueil remains.
The city has made attempts to spiff up a rather grubby and run-down market by adding a pleasant new cobblestone street, and many of the city's finest chefs still do their marketing here, sharing chores as one chef markets for fish, another goes after the meat, still another for the produce, then all meeting for coffee before heading back to their restaurants.

Rue Montorgueil (1st & 2nd)




Marché Saxe- Breteuil

Among the many markets in Paris, this has the reputation of being one of the best and certainly the most beautiful. 
It starts at Place de Breteil and stretches to Avenue de Segur. There is no more lovely setting, as it is framed by the Eiffel Tower and the Invalides. Farmers and producers come from all over France to sell their specialties and this market is known for its high quality foods, including many organic ones. 

Avenue de Saxe (7th)
Thursday and Saturday from 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM.




Marché Biologique Raspail • Organic Market
These are food markets unlike others in Paris - more like old fashioned country farmers' markets.
On weekends from thirty to fifty independant organic farmers set up stalls on Paris's boulevard Raspail.
They sell organic grown fruits and vegetables; homemade breads ; dried fruits and nuts; charcuteries ; farm-raised chickens, ducks and geese ; and even wine that's guaranteed to be "natural".

Boulevard Raspail, between rue du Cherche-Midi and rue de Rennes (6th)

Sunday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM
