Aligre Market

Le plus beau marché de l'Est Parisien

Marché d’Aligre is a French market which allows tourists to feast their eyes on impressive mountains of cheese, meat from artisan butchers, fresh fruit, vegetables, and buckets of newly bloomed flowers as they walk the street. Have a look around, mingle with the locals, smell the roses and take in the colourful atmosphere.

The outside vendors at Marché d’Aligre and those in the covered Marché Beauvau in the Paris 12th arrondissement make this one this area of those cool places where you can find the greenest of green zucchini or a lovely bunch of French radishes perfectly arranged as a bouquet with a red top and white bottom—and the little piggies that went to market that are tucked away in the adjacent covered market building.

To reach the Marché d’Aligre, get to Métro: Ledru-Rollin and walk to Place d’Aligre. Its treasures are available any day of the week except for Monday. Over 100 vendors wait at this friendly market loved by the locals.
