Street Markets

by CALSF - last update: Jul 25, 2005

Vivid fruits on display

Buci Market

Lots of local and imported fruits can be bought at the Buci market. Some fruit such as the strawberries and other berries are from France while the grapes come from Morocco for example.

Rue Mouffetard street market

Rue Mouffetard Street Market

In December, 2004 I finally visited the Rue Mouffetard street market. While the Buci market is great the Rue Mouffetard market is 100 times better in my opinion. Down a cobblestoned pedestrianized street you will not only find stalls of produce and fruit but also shops (fromageries, chocolatiers, boulangeries, rotisseries, patisseries) lining the street as well. An absolutely amazing atmosphere with the Parisians doing their daily grocery shopping too.

Of course, a patisserie is here on the rue Mouffetard.
New Year's sweets
Coquilles St. Jacques
A famous Parisian dish is Coquilles St. Jacques or scallops! You can buy them on Rue Mouffetard.
Androuet, a famous fromagerie, has a branch on rue Mouffetard. It was pretty busy on the day I visited.

 im going to paris in march of 2010. Was there in 2005 but twisted ankle kept me from getting all the joys of the city. Next time try the duquense eiffel hotel.

 Nice info, I recall being up the top and being amazed at the traffic chaos below

 What a comprehensive page! You seem to have put all your VT energy into it ;-) I agree about the Orsay, and your tip about the Memorial des Martyrs de La Deportation is beautifully expressed
