Come here for crepes, bread, fruits, flowers or just wander around. It's pretty compact so get something to eat and have a picnic elsewhere. Friendly enough people. More

This is probably the best market in Paris. Everywhere in Paris, you can find small or big markets, but this one is not only big, but still authentic. Parisians I know have their favourite sellers, but I think you should look around first and then see what you would like to buy. You have a good choice of organic vegetables... More

Great for a visit on a Sunday early morning. I didn’t see any souvenirs, but the food stalls are wonderful. The fruit, vegetables, cheese and fish are a visual party for your eyes and not so expensive. There’s also a chance for you to find a nice orchestrate playing next to the market on Bastille side. Just avoid the Bastille... More

This market was the best we found for "tourist" shopping and is located close to the Bastille metro. Lots of gifts to buy at reasonable prices and a bit different from other markets and tourist areas. There is still lots of produce to buy, again at good prices. This quite a large market and a good place to visit on... More

We arrived around 11am and there were plenty of fresh vegetables and meats there. I was expecting to be able to try things out especially fresh bread and cheese, but there wasn’t too much in terms of samples. Not so much in terms of souvenirs either. We had a ham and cheese crepe for 3.50 euros which was great. Nutella... More

Aloha from Kaua'i! We stayed on the rue de Lyon and were only a couple of blocks from Place de la Bastille....so on our second day in Paris (Thursday) we ended up walking unknowingly up past the Bastille monument and right into this outdoor market! It was our first experience with an outdoor market in Paris and it was fabulous!... More

Twice weekly market which is an entertaining mix of food, assorted homeware, clothes stalls and occasional tourist tat. Lovely fresh fruit & veg, cheeses, dried meats, salami etc. Couple of yummy take away food stalls at the Bastille end. This market allows you a bit of elbow room - space for kids and parents with buggies and the elderly with... More

It's great fun and here one can experience the passion of the French for food. All kinds of food for sale (cheeses, pastry, meat, honey) and also some garment stalls, umbrellas, etc. Lots of humour and tasting. markets are all over France, and if u are only in Paris, this is ur best chance to experience a genuine one.
