They also sell quite the selection of food items, in case you want to grab lunch or a snack. They carry a wide array of fresh vegetables and baguettes near the front of the store. There's usually at least two employees at the checkout counter. If you pay in euros, no receipt.

They each have all of your basis items and a few more. Some are bigger and stocked with a larger amount of supplies, others, like this one, are a bit smaller. This being said, this store has everything that you will need to make a great meal, grab a quick lunch, a fast drink, or get that other items such as cold medicine, bandages, or a cork screw that you need on the run. Speaking of drinks... This shop has a surprisingly good selection of wine. This is something to keep in mind if you are going to someone's home and need to bring a gift or simply need to sit back with a friend over a nice glass of wine. Overall, very useful shop!

I am being generous with this review…read more Quality/Quantity - The better of the two markets we visited today. It was our first day here, so I needed to stock up on supplies - Water, fruits, snacks, and of course beer and wine, lol. I think I was spoiled by the huge upscale market that we went to every day in Nice. You know the one I am talking about, because you are following. Ambiance - Decent size, but an irregular shaped market. Has the minimum of everything we need. But it would be nice to have a full service deli, bakery, etc. Service - This is where it all failed... They/she had the hardest time getting our loyalty card. She struggled entering our phone #. Then the cashier started helping someone else with a complaint when it was finally our turn to check out. The cashier just could not figure it out, so she started going through her garbage to dig out all the previous receipts. The person behind me got impatient and started complaining. The customer that cut in line started complaining. I almost just left... Price - I did not even look; I just wanted to get OUT of there. Oh, everything we bought did not have prices, so all your labels need to be updated... What a mess! Owner Comment - Not sure what you need to do, but you need to hire better employees. Two for two FAIL!!

A very busy market, and our first visit into a grocery store while overseas. The bakery items…read more(bread, croissants, lots more) were fresh and ready to grab and go. There was plenty of beer and wine to choose from (inexpensively) and along with meats, and cheeses all the usual items you'd find in most grocery stores here in the States. The produce looked fresh, there was good selection of frozen foods and though the store was busy, the line moved fairly quickly. You bag it yourself here, so it doesn't hurt to carry a bag of your own while visiting, or grab one of their reusables cheaply to bring back to the US with you as a souvenier of your overseas adventure.

The store itself is split into 4 split levels with the main street level featuring fresh and frozen food. High ticket cured meats were tagged with a lock. The upper split level featured home goods along with some Paris Olympic souvenir items. The lower split level featured clothing and personal hygiene items. The lowest level featured an area for cookies, chips, and beverages. Checkout was available with a self check-out or staffed station.

Near the hotel and train station. Not the best of neighborhoods, but it runs better than the other convenience stores in the area. Service - Self service.

When travelling, we like to be able to buy a few items at a local grocery (mainly water, for…read morerefilling our bottles for day-trips, etc.; we also get fruit). These aren't items we can really bring along from home, so depending on our destination, local stores may not be abundant. I had no idea what we'd find in urban Paris. However, we ran across FranPrix while waiting for a restaurant to open. After buying some water and lugging it almost a half mile back to the hotel, I then found this location about a block from the hotel. Oh well. I did not shop here extensively, but we made use of it one morning to pick up a couple of items. They opened at 8 a.m. These are space-limited urban stores, not some 2-acre suburban American mega store. Understand that going in, and set expectations accordingly. I don't mean that in a bad way; they seemed to make decent use of the space they had, and their selection was fine. I was happy to find this chain existed. These seemed pretty common, so there could be one near your hotel or near close Metro stop.

2 of 2 Yelp reviews…read more Quality/Quantity - I really enjoy hanging out with the locals when I travel. To see what the locals eat, drink, do, etc. Decent size market, both indoors and outdoors. Not sure what the relationship is between the Aligre Market and Beauvau Covered Market, but because they are literally next to each other. I feel they were the same/similar market. So this review will reflect that. The products/produce are so fresh and flavorful. Ripe. Meats, seafood, flowers, etc. Everything is so fresh. There is even a "thrift" shop market here?!?! Ambiance - Decent size, both indoor and outdoor. Again, I am connecting the two markets. Service - Good. Price - Reasonable. Expect farmers market prices. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.

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.

The first floor consists of a large supermarket which has everything from fresh fish to potted herbs and a variety of packaged goods and prepared food as well as an extensive wine section which includes the ingenious product Porteval=white wine in little juice boxes.

The two gentleman who run the place are both so friendly and kind.

I guarantee you'll get a friendly bonjour when you walk in the door.
