France is renowned for its terroir and gastronomy. And of all the French traditions we love, the market is at the top of the list. It’s simple, they’re all over France! You’ll find fresh, local and seasonal produce to tantalize your taste buds, as well as small caterers and even restaurants. Here are the best markets in Paris (in our opinion) to stroll around on Sundays or whenever you like!
The Marché des Enfants Rouges, one of Paris’s most iconic markets
Located in the heart of the 3rd arrondissement, the Marché des Enfants Rouges is as trendy as it is fashionable. People come here less to buy organic vegetables and nibble on fresh meals on the go. A truly beautiful place, listed as a historic monument and well worth a visit, even if it’s just to have a look around.
