Came to the Bastille Market to try one of the rotisserie chickens from here. I don't remember the…read morename of the exact place, but it was the last bird I consumed in France. My swan song from a disappointing trip in the bird department. Off the eye test, it doesn't get much better. The beautiful sight of tissi's rotating in front of a fire breathing oven, potatoes in the tray below collecting the chicken juices as they fell, had me ready to run around the Bastille plaza yelling "LE MOUVEMENT!!". I thought this was going to be my first high level bird in the City of Light. Much to my chagrin, the one I got was just lukewarm. I was ready for my fingerprints to be fully burned off. There was so much potential here, but as always, I have to judge what's in front of me. If I don't have my integrity I have nothing. It landed at an 8.1/10 on the restaurant scale which is good, but if it was hot it could have been up there with the greats in the rare 9 territory. Unrealized potential is one of the most depressing things in the world. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

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

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.

If you like to experience a REAL FARMER MARKET, you must go the the Marche de Versailles. In…read moreFrance, its almost an institution. The Marche de Versailles take place on Tuesday, Fridays and Sundays from 7am to 1pm. "Farmers" or sellers start installing their "stands" at 3am/4am in the morning every single time. When I live in Versailles, it was our Sunday commitment. Buy your veggies, fruits, fresh eggs, fresh poultry and get your fresh cut flowers at the Marche! Its a great experience if you are a tourist but for us French people its just our day (sundays) where you spend time with your family and buy fresh products for the week Hundreds of sellers, very large amount of choice in product and price. The smell and the colors are just amazing (our Farmer Market here is California or Vegas are a joke). The fruits are so tasty, juicy & colorful. Selection of products depends on the season so for sure you don't have the plastic taste of tomato sometime i experience when you go to Smith, Albertson's or even Sprout or Whole Food. Yes the color is beautiful and shinny but the taste is missing. You pay cash your purchase. Many french people will come with their own "caddie or panier" little stroller to carry their purchase. Very common put your little kid in the back and ride your bicycle. Plenty of spot where you can park your bicycle. I Miss the ambiance and the smell of the Marche. It was my childhood memories Sellers are challenging each other in the funny and kind way screaming to customers their products are fresher than the other. Its just funny to experience it. If you ask they will always have to taste before you buy. Remember in France you buy by the Kilo not pound (so 1 kg is about 2 pounds) In France most of streets parking are free on sundays, NOT in Versailles. The Marche of Versailles is so popular that if you forget to pay your parking, you will for sure get a ticket. GREAT EXPERIENCE if you visit the Chateau de Versailles or Palace of Versailles, the Marche is less than 10 mns walk from it. Also many gastronomic restaurants to enjoy your papilles!!

It is one of 2 regular bio stands at the market, but you have to check them both because the product availability varies from week to week. I go to the market on Sundays but they are open on other days as well - but I am not sure what days this particular stand is around besides Sunday. They have a deal for paniers (baskets) that is something like 10 euros for 4 kilos of assorted produce. Check it out - definitely a good bargain for organic products. It's best to go early to have a good choice, but late market goers can have some last-minute deals...
