La rue Mouffetard is a long and narrow street going from la Place Mouffetard to la Place du Pantheon. The best is to take the time to walk the all lengh of it, whichever way you want. For me, I prefer to start down and work my way up (and it is a little hilly). On la place Mouffetard, there... More

There are a number of reasons to visit rue Mouffetard. First, if you are in Paris and able to cook, fresh, high quality (not cheap) ingredients are all here. Fresh fish, meats, cheese, fruit, wine, vegetables, bakeries, desserts. All perfect for the meal you are going to make. Even if not making your own meal, go just for a stroll... More

Several shops from food to souvenirs to clothing. Lovely neighborhood and not much crowded. The shops are not very expensive, too. It was a very nice walk in my very last day in Paris. More

If you want to see how real Parisians live visit the food market. Unlike Americans, the French buy their food in open air markets, getting fresh ingredients on a near daily basis. Their fridges are tiny, so each days meal has to be planned carefully and there are seldom pot of leftovers. Visiting this, or any French food market is... More

This whole Mouffetard area is splendid. I love it. The stalls, the shops, the people, the atmosphere are eclectic and the picture is paris at her most vivid. Go there for a wander; it's marvellous. More

Made me wish I could cook some of the beautiful vegetables available at the market. We bought some fruit and sausage and bread for a picnic and it was delicious. More

Visited the market on Easter Sunday after Mass. It was crowded with shoppers and had live music. Perfect market scene. Picked up food for a picnic lunch. More

We enjoyed a three week stay in an apartment on the narrow, cobblestoned Rue Mouffetard earlier this year which was most convenient. We were able to take advantage of the myriad of food stalls and shops and accessed the local restaurants, cinema and transport. The market operates from about 10:00 - 8:00pm each day but not all businesses are open... More

The market on Rue Mouffetard is a must see! Great little shops, many chocolatiers, and just a site to see all of the delicious looking produce, impressive seafood displays, and great patisseries. I'm so glad we found it! More
