Covered market of the Enfants Rouges
39 rue de Bretagne, 75003 Paris
The Marché des Enfants Rouges is the oldest covered market in Paris. About twenty merchants, including many caterers with various specialties, participate in the conviviality of this market where freshness and quality are the key words. What we particularly like is to stroll on Sundays between the stalls to do some shopping before having lunch in the heart of the market.
Dates and times: Monday to Saturday from 8 am to 8 pm / Sunday from 8 am to 4 pm
Raspail organic market
100% organic
73 Boulevard Raspail, 75006 Paris
Every Sunday morning on Boulevard Raspail, the Raspail organic market is the most beautiful and largest of the organic markets in Paris. Its charm attracts both Parisians and tourists. You will find organic fruits and vegetables, but also small craftsmen, like an Italian caterer, organic and natural beauty products, or jewels of a small local designer.
Dates and times: Sunday from 9 am to 3 pm
Saxe-Breteuil Market
Avenue de Saxe, 75007 Paris
This beautiful market stretches along with the Avenue de Saxe in the 7th arrondissement and offers a nice surprise: a superb view of the Eiffel Tower! Very pleasant, not too crowded with a large choice. The atmosphere is warm and brings animation in a rather quiet district.

Anvers Market
Square d’Anvers, 75009 Paris
Nestled right next to the Square d’Anvers, about twenty stallholders set up their stalls on this market, which is very popular with Parisians living in the neighborhood. It offers a multitude of merchants: cheesemongers, fishmongers, butchers, greengrocers, bakers, and delicatessen vendors. A beautiful address to discover before or after your compulsory visit to Sacré Coeur.

Saint-Quentin Market
Boulevard Magenta, 75010 Paris

3 Place d’Aligre, 75012 Paris
The Aligre market is one of the most lively and friendly of Parisian food markets. It’s a bit of a mess, but that’s exactly why we love it. The Aligre market is an intoxicating mix of colors and scents that hover over the square. With its fruit and vegetable stalls and its magnificent flea market, you can find products from Africa, India and Asia. This picturesque market is also one of the cheapest in Paris.

2 to 80 Cour de Vincennes, 75012 Paris
You will find this market on the cours de Vincennes, between boulevard Picpus and rue Arnold-Netter. The market of the Cours de Vincennes is certainly one of the largest in the capital. It is a market where the merchants communicate with energy while selling their best products. The choice is vast, the welcome is warm, and the good atmosphere and prices are adapted for all budgets. For food lovers, the proportion of organic food products has increased considerably in recent years.
Dates and times: Wednesdays and Saturdays from 7 am to 2:30 pm, (3 pm on Saturdays)
Brancusi Organic Market
100% organic
Place Constantin Brancusi, 75014 Paris
This petit market located a few steps from the Montparnasse tower is small but mighty. Despite its 5 stalls you will find everything you need— fruits, vegetables, dairy products, bread and pastries… even your favorite fish and seafood. The small number of traders and producers makes the contact with the customers more privileged. Although, it is less cheap than its cousins Raspail and Batignolles.
Dates and times: Saturday from 9 am to 2 pm
Saint-Charles Market
Rue Saint-Charles, 75015 Paris
This neighborhood market offers a wide choice of 100% farm produce. Thanks to its forty stalls you will find everything you need, even your favorite organic products. It’s impossible not to find what you’re looking for, especially since the atmosphere is warm and the shopkeepers are adorable.

Organic market of Batignolles
100% organic
34 Boulevard des Batignolles, 75017 Paris
The Batignolles organic market offers the best in a family and friendly atmosphere. Every Saturday morning, as you walk along the producers’ stalls you will find a thousand and one flavors, scents and colors. More than fifty merchants and producers take place to boast their beautiful and healthy goods. It’s hard not to give in to temptation and gluttony knowing that all the products are so good. Be careful though, the produce is a bit expensive.
Dates and times: Saturday from 9 am to 3 pm
Barbès Market
Boulevard de la Chapelle, 75018 Paris
This great market is located underneath the subway tracks. Its motto could be “1 euro per kilo”. The atmosphere is frenetic. One leaves from there with three bags filled for 15 euros. Agoraphobes abstain because the crowd is always dense under the arcades of the subway! The others will appreciate the perpetual animation which makes Barbès a place not to be missed in Paris.
Dates and times: Wednesday from 8 am to 1 pm and Saturday from 7 am to 3 pm
Organic market Centquatre
100% organic
5 rue Currial, 75019 Paris
Every Saturday, the Halle Aubervilliers becomes an organic and local market. In spite of its limited number of stands (10 to 15), a large choice of local and artisanal products are offered to you. You will find organic fruits and vegetables in season, at reasonable prices. For about fifteen euros you will fill a very large basket of vegetables. One of the best organic markets in Paris!
Dates and times: Saturdays from 11 am to 1:45 pm
Marché Réunion
Place de la Réunion, 75020 Paris
On the edge of the Marché Réunion square, this small market is like a family stroll, provided you don’t mind the crowds. It’s mainly made up of organic fruit and vegetable sellers, oysters, fish and flowers— some of which are more chic and expensive than others. It is a pleasant market where the merchants are smiling, and the customers are mostly regulars. A caterer of delicious cooked dishes is also present, our favorite.
