One of the best things to do when visiting Paris is to take a stroll in the markets and mix with the locals. Here are some ideas for different types of markets to visit when spending time in the City of Lights:
Food Markets
We all know that locals know best, and this is especially true when it comes to food. One of the less-visited markets by tourists is not very far from the Eiffel Tower, so visit Marché Saxe-Breteuil right before lunchtime, and sit down for lunch under one of the world’s most famous towers!
Flower Markets
One of the most famous flower markets in the world is the Marché aux Fleurs Reine Elizabeth II. Not far from Notre-Dame, this is a year-round green spot, with stalls selling bouquets, plants, accessories, and ornaments. On Sunday, the market transforms into a Bird Market.
Second-hand Market
We wouldn’t be doing our job if we gave you the name of the most popular markets, as it is known that second-hand markets are all about the hidden treasures. Not a hidden or small spot is the Marché aux Puces de la Porte de Vanves. Almost 400 stalls selling clothing, furniture, and more.
