This is definitely the place to be on Sunday morning (7 am-3). Go to watch the French housewives with their little net shopping bags troll for their Sunday dinners at the poultry sellers and fishmongers. There's all manner of stalls selling veggies, fruits, pastries, breads,...More

bars welcome customers for a bite or a drink, but it’s
at night this area really comes to life. Students and
young professionals fill the busy bars around Bastille

AnswerShow all 5 answers

Markets open around 8 am and close around 2 PM but many sellers start to pack up around. I suggest you get their mid morning the Bastille is very large. Also less crowded Thursday .

I love flowers and plan on purchasing some when visiting the market. My question is on the signs there is the price and it says la botte which translates to the boot. I have worked in the flower industry for years and I have no idea what they mean by boot. Anyone know?

January 29, 2018|

Answer

I got curious about the word la botte and checked Wiktionary. The expression la botte have various meanings and one of them "a bundle (of flowers)".

Where to shop (1 Replies)

I will be in Paris at the end of November. We plan on doing some shopping on Saturday or Sunday. Which is the better market for clothing, local artist work, etc. Bastille Market or Marché aux Puces St-Ouen de Clignancourt. Or is there another place we should go?

Bastille Market (1 Replies)

I would love to visit Bastille Market on my first trip to Paris in April. Do some/any of the vendors speak English? I'm trying to learn as much French as I can between now and then but I'm worried that I won't be able to buy anything or ask any questions because of my lack of French. Should I be worried??

Response fromDonna K|

As with the shops, restaurants, and so forth, many will know little, some, or a lot of English. You will not have any trouble buying things.
