We visited during the heat wave and we found a place that sort of had A/C. We all needed a break and enjoyed the slightly cooled atmosphere. I would say this wouldn't rank the highest on my list of food markets I've been to. They had some good looking vegetables, cheeses, and the crepes looked amazing. But overall it felt limited.

Plus you can buy fresh produce, seafood, meats, etc. As usual, my pictures do not do it justice. Ambiance - One of the smaller markets, but then again, it was crazy busy due to the rain storm that just started. Everyone was running for cover. Free public restrooms, use at your own risk. Wifi - I did not use it. Service - Hard to get on this visit as it was again, crazy busy. Price - Trendy market prices, slightly above average. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 1615.

Not sure what the relationship is between the Aligre Market and Beauvau Covered Market, but because they are literally next to each other. I feel they were the same/similar market. So this review will reflect that. The products/produce are so fresh and flavorful. Ripe. Meats, seafood, flowers, etc. Everything is so fresh. There is even a "thrift" shop market here?!?! Ambiance - Decent size, both indoor and outdoor. Again, I am connecting the two markets. Service - Good. Price - Reasonable. Expect farmers market prices.

Drafted in 2019, decided to post for future reference: This…read morewas my favorite farmer's market in Paris. Tons of fresh fish, meat (both raw and prepared), cheese, and many fruit stalls. I especially loved the prepared meat in the stall near the entrance (they have many prepared items to choose from--I ended up loving the duck foie gras and duck rillette). Also, people were helpful and willing to deal with my poor French :) As another reviewer mentioned, there aren't many (perhaps any) ready-to-way meals. But I wasn't looking for that, and I found the quality to be fantastic.

Before coming to Paris I had every intention of going to Les Puces de Saint-Ouen, the giant flea…read moremarket about which I'd read so much, but once in Paris I changed my mind. I opted instead for Marche d'Aligre, reasoning that it featured not only a small flea market but also a farmer's market and a market hall. The guide I consulted described Marche d'Aligre as a spot for locals, featuring some of the cheapest produce in Paris. I can't speak to that but I did think everything - including the many meats, seafood, cheeses, and more in the market hall - looked quite fabulous. The swap meet? A little less so. The sole flea market thing that caught my eye suddenly jumped in price when I pulled out my cash but I did see one vendor actively negotiate with a tourist when she found a price out of her reach. That said, this isn't a flea market I'd set out for again; it's plaza-sized (maybe 20 vendors) and the offerings struck me as rather junky. If I had time for only one of Paris' great open-air food markets this isn't the one I'd choose despite the fact that I enjoyed my visit here.

One of my favorite outdoor markets in France. The atmosphere…read moreis calmer than at Marche Bastille and the vendors are usually pretty friendly. This market runs for a couple of blocks along Raspail, starts at the entrance to Metro stop Rennes and runs on down the street. Open on Tuesday & Friday and the organic market is on Sunday. They also have one of the best rotisserie chicken places ive tried anywhere, its an Asian man who owns that booth and his rotisserie chicken and roasted potatoes are just amazing, a small chicken is only about 6 euro which is a bargain in Paris. The minute I get home I have to dig into it even if its still breakfast time. Ohhhh and the cheese vendors are also plentiful as are the vegetable vendors, all of its so fresh and tasty!

We visited several times during our week stay in the 18th arrondissement.

I'm a HUGE FAN of open-air markets and I'm sad I was only able to go to a few while I was in Paris…read more However this was DEFINITELY my favorite one!! It truely was an open air market and had SO MANY stands!! Each one was so unique and selling a variety of food from cheese, flowers, fresh pasta, seafood, tons of fruits, and etc. We came super early because we had a lot of stuff to do that day, but there was still a lot of stands already open at 730-8am. However it was relatively empty so I'm not sure if it gets crowded later. We took about 30 minutes to stroll through the market but I could have spent more time oogling at all the yummy deliciacies. We picked up some breakfast foods here but I forget what stand. We got some pate from one stand, some delicious, super soft bread from another, some really juicy pear and peaches, and had a mini breakfast picnic. Everything was very reasonably priced and the food was super yummy. We also went to Rue Cler later but I didn't like it as much since it didn't really have an open market feel (maybe I went to the wrong place?) It was much more pricey there as well and I didn't see many options. Another plus is that this is near the tour eiffel park, so we walked over (about 10 min walk) to enjoy our breakfast! :)

NOTE: i did an informal study/poll of this market one wednesday and discovered that only 5 of the 106 vendors that day were the producers or even remotely 'local'. generally, don't be fooled by parisian market places into thinking you're buying from farmers; mostly you're not (marche BIO des batignolles being a big exception here). mostly it's just more fun to have a face to face interaction with a person you're buying your food from, even if they're not the farmer. anyway, i did find some of the BEST HONEY SOAP ever here and that was indeed local & straight from the soap makers. also, markets are always good places to find delicious street food.
