Our hotelier recommended a visit and he was right. We came down for breakfast one day and fell in love with this 4 block slice of Paris, restaurants, patisseries, boulangeries, fruit markets, you name it, and it's here. You could spend every day here and not get bored, great cobblestone steets and people watching areas.

If you want to be surprised of the food and drink French people consume and what a large variety is offerd, you'll enjoy a visit to this market / shops. Every time I visited this market I regretted that I stayed in a Hotel and could not cook my own meal. This market will convince you that you should rent... More

old streets, a wealth of food shops makes it hard to choose. Alternative shops. We really liked this area and spent too much but had great fun.

Had read about Rue Mouffetard on Trip Advisor and elsewhere and added it to the top of our Paris punch list. Went shortly after arriving and I can't express the charm this street has. The other reviewers all say it well. This is what you imagine Paris to feel like. Don't miss a chance to wander the length of the... More

This street is a pleasant way to spend part of a day. Good place to pick up nicely prepared food and avoid what passes for food in tourist restaurants. I find that Paris is highly overrated for food, but the prepared foods, bakeries, and street food is good. If you want to consistently eat well go to Italy!

This Rue was on the way from our hotel up towards the Pantheon and we had a lovely morning wandering in and out of the shops and market areas, having first stopped for breakfast at one of the many cafes in the area. We bought olive oils from Olivier & Co,including an amazing smelling truffle oil that the shopkeeper let... More

A nice stroll though this market. No high pressure sales. Everyone seems proud of their wares and friendly with each other. The area is very quirky, but lots of fun to walk through with low vehicle traffic.

Amazing - lots of great cafes, creperies, food and jewellery shops. Cobble stone streets and lots of character. A must see while in Paris.

Of all the things we did on our trip to London, Paris and Amsterdam, this was one of my favorites. This little street just makes you feel like you are in Paris (I know that sounds weird :) There are lots of little cafes, shops and markets along the street. While we had no need to purchase fresh fish, meat,... More

Even if you are in a hotel with no kitchen, this Market and surrounding area is a must do. With the busy market square and the whole street full of shops with the most amazing array of fresh, fresh foods and ingredients. Many shops have queues, and one boulanger with 30 people queuing, locals everywhere doing their shopping (we went... More
