About
快速信息: Over eighty stalls line the leafy market, offering everything from crusty breads and ripe cheeses to rows of heirloom tomatoes and smoked duck breast. Morning light filters through plane trees, turning piles of produce into jewel-toned mosaics while vendors call out friendly tips and hand out tiny tastings.
亮点: On Saturdays nine fishmongers arrange oysters on crushed ice in a long, glittering parade, the briny smell and clinking shells pulling locals into quick impromptu tastings. Near the center a 72-year-old accordionist named Pierre plays a half-hour noon set and sometimes slips shoppers handwritten recipes for soupe à l'oignon, creating a communal, old-school atmosphere.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, markets run along a long avenue with uneven paving.
- Bring a reusable bag and small change, some vendors prefer cash or exact change.
- Go early on weekdays for best selection and quieter aisles.
- Stand near the avenue end facing the Eiffel for an excellent market-plus-tower photo angle.
