The markets are a great way to see Paris with fresh eyes and to meet the people up close. This book will take you into parts of the city where you may never have been, and show you markets whose existence you might never have guessed.

We’ve grouped markets in six geographic areas. The selection of our favorite markets within those areas—those that we’ve chosen to describe at length—is based on several reasons: most are bustling and colorful (such as rue d’Aligre); some are located in places that are interesting for cultural reasons (such as Saxe-Breteuil in the elegant 7th arrondissement, and Barbès in the predominantly North African part of the city). Each of these markets offers goods at competitive prices, attracting an active local clientele.

At the end of each section there is a list of every market we visited with a brief description of each. Sidebars in each section identify related places or facts of interest. In addition, we suggest some possible itineraries, organized by days of the week.  Finally, we provide a list of restaurants we like, and a short bibliography.
