About
Also known as Marché Richard Lenoir, this market is one of the biggest markets in Paris, stretching along the Boulevard Richard-Lenoir and across the Place de la Bastille. Twice a week, you can stroll through rows of shops selling everything from fresh produce like vegetables, fruits, and meats, to mouthwatering French "street food" such as pastries and crepes. The market is also a shopper's paradise, offering a variety of items from clothes to kitchenware and even artwork. Be sure to prepare cash and brush up on your bargaining skills. Start your market day early to grab the best local produce as most shops close by early afternoon. – Tripadvisor
