If you want to experience a very lively market, this location provides both, open every day but Monday. As much for watching as for shopping. Then for a more serene experience, go to the nearby Promenade Plantee (along Ave Daumesnil) or Viaduct des Arts

A very nice market with few tourists and many local Parisians doing their regular shopping. Colorful and inviting, with a good variety of cheese, seafood, meat, fruit and vegetables. Everything we bought there was delicious.

This was a great find. There is a indoor meat/fish market, where you can purchase all manner of good quality meats. There are a couple of places serving fish and wine to eat there. Outside, there is a busy fresh produce market. It's prices were very reasonable and the quality was exceptional. There is a small flea marker next to... More

I loved the Marché d'Aligre, built in 1779, a very "local" market, known mainly by those who live nearby. It is not the typical touristic area, it is a very organized, clean and clear market, not very big, but yet offering a wide variety of those products you would expect to find in a french market: seafood, meat, charcuterie, cheese,...

We visited this street market thinking that it will be more like markets in toronto or montreal but it is more like a food market with small businesses around the market. I was expecting a food market and small restaurants or places that sell food and drinks. The market is good if you expect a place where there is fruits... More

Nice covered market ("Marché Beauveau") and pretty large street market. It is worth getting there and taste some fresh products. Just recommend to go when the weather is nicer, warmer.

Not many tourists go to the 12th arrondissement, on the east side of Paris, but it's worth a visit and Marché d'Aligre is one of the reasons. It's really two markets - a covered market ("Marché Beauveau) and a street market. Plus, some days there's an interesting flea market with a variety of stuff - clothes, old books, old prints,...

Since many shops are closed on Sunday I thought this market would be fun. Love seeing the seafood and floral displays. Not too many crepe stands or food stands if you want to grab a bite but a local experience to enjoy

Discover an "up and coming" neighborhood, close to the Bastille and enjoy the food market, and the adjoining flea market and explore the neighboring Théophile Roussel and Rue de Cotte to have a stroll and eat fresh oysters at the Baron Rouge wine bar or have some wine or lunch at K'FE café across the street while observing the market...

Lovely little market and great selection of fresh fish, cured meat, cheeses, poultry and meat. 5 mins walk from metro. Stall holders happy for you to try before you buy and the largest cheese stall offered a shrink wrap service - sous -vide. Less than €1 for 5 pieces of cheese. Just outside there is also a fantastic chocolate shop... More
