A thing i love about Paris, France is it's markets. From flea markets to food markets, the market life is still alive and strong.
Wednsdays, Saturdays and Sundays, the designated streets get filled by the colorfull flowers, butchers selling home made sausages and meats, old book sellers, the this and that stands where you can find everything you did not need, cheeses from all areas of france, some african or asian foods, veggies and all you need.
It's paris markets.
The prices are still extremely correct for the most part. So, for the excellent quality and variety of product you find at those friendly nieghborood markets, it's a must experience while in paris to do your food shopping there. The markets are still vibrant with life, from old bourgeoisy to the more popular ones.
So, next time you're in Paris, don't forget to spend some time at a market, smell the fresh fruits, get some home made bread, sit on a bench, and enjoy some of that sweet parisian life, watching life from around the world pass by.
