A family from generation to generation who is here on Wednesday and Saturday (morning). The cheese, just opposite sells very good cheese. It is very good advice. Behind a fishmonger relatively expensive but is perfect -- fish and fish! On the other side of the street, a merchant poultry cooked chickens, rabbits, kids. C'est bon! With the calf he made the minced meat, offal and paupiettes. The merchant of fruits and vegetables sells its own production, especially saison.Vegetable is very good and one is forced to hear vegetable sometimes missing or rare as white radish. A small market that has turned province and the rssemble quality for a price justified by the fact!

It is a quite small farmer's market compared to the ones I go to back in the States. However, they definitely do not fall short in terms of variety. I bought a basket of gariguette strawberries because they looked amazingly fresh and juicy. And they were! When I got back to our hotel, I immediately washed some up and ate them with a cup of nespresso. Très délicieux!

If you're looking for that awesome Parisian market experience, you'd be better served going to the covered market at Place Aligre or the massive open-air market at Marché de la Bastille. That said, the Marché des Ternes provides a peaceful, calm atmosphere to pick up your meats, fruits, vegetables, cheeses and seafood, sold by friendly merchants. It's much more a neighborhood market than a destination, a nice alternative to doing your daily shopping at the supermarket. Now if only they had a liquor aisle

We also bought some gifts there at good prices.

Many French markets are wonderful…read more This is not to say all of them are. I have been dragged to a variety of them which have been "What's the Point"? Eight desultory stands some with vegetables, some with fish. There are also markets where the brick and mortar places next to them just have better stuff. That said, the Marche Henri-Barbusse in Levallois-Perret is one of the good ones. This is saying a lot because the brick and mortar competition next to Marche Henri-Barbusse is very good. One of the best cheese stores in the Paris area, a first rate butcher, and two very good produce stores are operating nearby in their own proper storefronts. But the Marche Henri Barbusse can even out-dazzle those fine competitors. a) A good market has a LOT of stands for a lot of choice. Levallois-Perret has two markets - the middle sized one and the big one. This is the big one. Big is good here. b) A good market has a lot of duplication so you can get fussy about which provider you want for each item. There are lots of double-ups here - notably on fish. ANY of the fish providers are better than the mediocre brink and mortar fish store nearby. Doubling up has one more advantage. Sometimes one provider doesn't have enough of what you need. If I were to do oxtail, I would have had to go to three butchers to get enough oxtails to do the job by my standards. Fortunately, they HAVE three butchers, each with their own micro-amount of fresh oxtail. c) A good market has exotica that you can't get anywhere else nearby. Henri-Broussard has c1) TWO markets where you can get innards and rare parts of the animal. One mostly gives you rare parts of the pig. The other gives you rare parts of veal and rabbit. c2) A Mauritian traiteur with Afro-Indian curried specialties. c3) An Eastern Mediterranean traiteur with different stuff than the Greek place a few blocks away. Both are good. d) An all poultry specialist that allows you to get the distinctive birds that are called for in French recipes. When your cookbook calls for a pintade, a chicken won't do. It will be the wrong size, will need a different cooking time, and will taste less interesting. The all poultry specialist can give you a choice of what kind of pintade you want. e) A flan maker that makes chocolate flans that are utterly to die for. (She does other flavors too.) f) A nougat maker. Nougat is good in France. It is terrible in the United States. * * * I could go on - but you get the idea here. Is this the best market in all of France or all of France? Not by a long shot. The Saone side market in Lyon is legendary. But any French market in the top 50 percent is going to be absolutely positively amazing. This place is absolutely positively amazing.
