While it's not exactly a bang for your buck, it's worth experiencing at least once.

I'm a HUGE FAN of open-air markets and I'm sad I was only able to go to a few while I was in Paris…read more However this was DEFINITELY my favorite one!! It truely was an open air market and had SO MANY stands!! Each one was so unique and selling a variety of food from cheese, flowers, fresh pasta, seafood, tons of fruits, and etc. We came super early because we had a lot of stuff to do that day, but there was still a lot of stands already open at 730-8am. However it was relatively empty so I'm not sure if it gets crowded later. We took about 30 minutes to stroll through the market but I could have spent more time oogling at all the yummy deliciacies. We picked up some breakfast foods here but I forget what stand. We got some pate from one stand, some delicious, super soft bread from another, some really juicy pear and peaches, and had a mini breakfast picnic. Everything was very reasonably priced and the food was super yummy. We also went to Rue Cler later but I didn't like it as much since it didn't really have an open market feel (maybe I went to the wrong place?) It was much more pricey there as well and I didn't see many options. Another plus is that this is near the tour eiffel park, so we walked over (about 10 min walk) to enjoy our breakfast! :)

NOTE: i did an informal study/poll of this market one wednesday and discovered that only 5 of the 106 vendors that day were the producers or even remotely 'local'. generally, don't be fooled by parisian market places into thinking you're buying from farmers; mostly you're not (marche BIO des batignolles being a big exception here). mostly it's just more fun to have a face to face interaction with a person you're buying your food from, even if they're not the farmer. anyway, i did find some of the BEST HONEY SOAP ever here and that was indeed local & straight from the soap makers. also, markets are always good places to find delicious street food.

On another day, we bought prepared foods to take back to our rental. Again, the vendor was incredibly helpful. This market gave me an opportunity to practice my French, something that can be difficult to do in Paris. Of note, I was the only one in my party who spoke French, and the others managed just fine. We visited several times during our week stay in the 18th arrondissement.

It's a bit, modern space with lots of seating and plenty of food and drink options - your typical food hall, but with a nice laid back vibe. We went for pizza and pasta; the former was great and the latter was good but not amazing. I've seen people say they had to queue to get in, but for lunch on a weekday it's just a really nice and pleasant experience with a mix of people enjoying themselves or doing some remote work on their laptops. Oh, and the toilets are really cool too! Dark and moody!

I especially loved the prepared meat in the stall near the entrance (they have many prepared items to choose from--I ended up loving the duck foie gras and duck rillette). Also, people were helpful and willing to deal with my poor French :) As another reviewer mentioned, there aren't many (perhaps any) ready-to-way meals. But I wasn't looking for that, and I found the quality to be fantastic.
