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.

Located on the famous Rue de Cler street in Paris, Les Halles Bosquet offers fresh fruits and…read morevegetables. The street itself has small Parisian cafes, cheese markets, rotisserie chicken shops, grocery stores, and to me is the perfect example of the Paris experience. After flying into Paris, I directly went to some shops on the street and nearby and bought some foods to enjoy. Credit cards are accepted here. Organic Cherries (10 euros for a kilogram) - These were the best cherries that I have tried anywhere in the world. I couldn't believe how great they tasted! They were so sweet and juicy. In fact all the other berries looked so good here. I then took some of my goods and walked to a nearby park near the Eiffel tower and enjoyed eating them as I marveled at the beauty and splendor of the Eiffel tower. It was an extremely relaxing experience, and the weather was perfect (mid 70's) for summer.

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

This market runs for a couple of blocks along Raspail, starts at the entrance to Metro stop Rennes and runs on down the street. Open on Tuesday & Friday and the organic market is on Sunday. They also have one of the best rotisserie chicken places ive tried anywhere, its an Asian man who owns that booth and his rotisserie chicken and roasted potatoes are just amazing, a small chicken is only about 6 euro which is a bargain in Paris. The minute I get home I have to dig into it even if its still breakfast time. Ohhhh and the cheese vendors are also plentiful as are the vegetable vendors, all of its so fresh and tasty!

Although it's small, it did have everything you need. They are butchers, seafood, cheese, and vegetables. There were also a few restaurants that attached but no one really was eating there. When I was there at around 3:00, a few of the stores were closed. And we waited for 10 minutes to talk to someone about the oysters and in a seafood store, but we were basically ignored because both workers were helping one person and didn't even care to acknowledge us at all. We grabbed some coffee, berries and homemade yogurt. They were all very good, hence the 3 stars. If you were a trouist like us looking for a farmers market in Pairs, I would recommend you to go somewhere else.

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
