Paris Digest selection of Paris food markets

One of the true and typical pleasures of Paris, the Paris food markets date back to the Middle Ages.

In narrow streets lined  with high and old houses, the open-air and crowded food markets offer their picturesque assortment of food stores, restaurants and morning animation.

There, you can buy meat, fish, vegetable, fruit, pastries, and many delicious French dishes at reasonable prices.

The Paris food markets are often lined with cafés and restaurants. They are part of the atmosphere of Paris.

We specially like the Rue Mouffetard food market (above) near the Panthéon, the Rue Montorgueil food market (left) near the Les Halles metro station and the Rue de Buci food market in the Saint-Germain des Près district. Go there in the morning.

Very different indeed from modern shopping centers and so charming! Don't go there by car. Most Paris food market are pedestrian areas and distances are small.
