Top 10 Flea & Street Markets in Paris, Ile-de-France

December 10, 2021 Deane Carmody

Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

Marche d'Aligre

Foodies flock to Marché d'Aligre, a lively and authentic outdoor Parisian market housed in the city’s authentic-feeling 12th arrondisement, or district, and located near the Bastille. Here you’ll find everything from fresh cheeses, spices and flowers to vintage apparel.

We enjoyed seeing the beautiful flowers and produce, but even more, we loved the flea market! We spent 2 hours here on a Tuesday morning looking at clothes, housewares, jewelry, etc. We dickered with the vendors and came home with some terrific bargains: a leather trench coat, a haute-couture runway dress, a huge silk scarf, a large tin tart pan, a silver ring...These are our favorite souvenirs from Paris, and they are so much nicer and more unique than the made-in-China souvenirs on every street corner!

Rue Cler

This lively cobblestone street effectively preserves the ambience of Paris of old and is home to countless small shops.

Reviewed By Z3458RZerick - Orlando, United States

Rue Cler is a predominantly local market street, with individual shops for each food item. One shop for cheese. One for meats. One for fruit and veggies. Once for baked goods. Etc. There are also little cafes with street seating to sit and watch the world go round. If you go, be respectful of the locals...this is where they shop. Do yourself a favor...get a little something at several shops, get a bottle of wine, and go find some shade under a tree, or on a bench, at the south end of the Champs de Mars, and have a quiet picnic, and just enjoy being in Paris.

This neighborhood market is a REAL market, full of tantalizing products. The vendors are helpful and nice. We found all the produce to be wonderful, beautifully displayed. And the cheeses ! Walking around this market is very enjoyable, even in the rain.

I go for the falafel sandwich at the Diwan Beirut, a Lebanese takeaway food shop. The falafels are crisp on the outside, soft and delicious inside, and the salad filling is fresh and full of favour and texture.

Marche Buci

Reviewed By donaldn995 - Toronto, Canada

Rue de Buci is in the absolute centre of Paris. From here we easily walked to Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Jardin des Plantes, Jardin de Luxembourg, Theatre Fontaine (a small theatre in Montmartre). We are fortunate to stay in a small apartment with a view down the Rue de Buci and the Rue de Seine. Lovely at Christmas with its overhead lights.

What a pleasure to stroll a market selling incredibly fresh produce, fish, flowers and other tasty tidbits and enjoy the Eiffel Tower in the background! The market is held every Thursday and Saturday morning and is easily accessible from the Sèvres-Lecourbe stop on the Metro 6 line.

Bastille Market

Reviewed By shazztang - Auckland, New Zealand

My advice would be to buy a bit of everything - such affordable, high quality food! We bought a lot of french food: baguette, hot crepes, kouign amann, cheese, cured meat, rotisserie chicken, fresh fruit; and also some turkish style pastries and portuguese custard tarts. I'd say it was some of the best food we've had (in each of those categories). I'd happily go back again next time I'm in Paris.
