Marché d'Aligre
Early Sunday morning at Marché d'Aligre
is my favorite for taking photographs and watching the day come alive.
As with all the street markets of Paris, there is a collegial neighborhood atmosphere as shoppers greet their favorite vendors. You see children playing and families shopping together on the weekend mornings. Quite often they finish the morning in the nearby Square Trousseau with the children playing.

Look at all those gorgeous vegetables! They are arranged so perfectly and look so tempting. How could you not purchase one of everything! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree-Sunday mornings are perfect for visiting the market with your camera.
ReplyDeleteWhile I worked in Paris, I lived in a studio in that neighborhood for a few years. My best friend and I often went to le Marché d'Aligre together and bought fresh produce so she could prepare a traditional "couscous..." Memories, memories... Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
ReplyDeleteWe always make a beeline for the local market when in a foreign city. It always provides a grounding to the usual tourist spots. Real people. Real food.
ReplyDeletenice colors. Vegetables and fruits make such a colorful photo subject.
ReplyDeleteThis is "my neighbourhood"... I know someone who will love the "Paris Rouge" in this photo...
ReplyDeleteYes, a great time and scene for candid photos! I love going to the market!

Red and green ... Even the veggies are reminding us that we are entering the Christmas season! Lovely capture, Gene!
ReplyDeleteLuscious. Almost as good as being there.
ReplyDeleteI had exactly the same thought as M when I saw this image Genie....Christmas!! Love the traditional colours of red green and gold.
ReplyDeleteP.s. thankfully there was no damage to the cars, last year we had a storm with hail three times the size of this..people are still recovering from damage. Can you imagine all the cars parked out in the open in so many car sales yards, thankfully we had a bit of warning about that one and my car was safely in the garage.
gorgeous colors, but more importantly, gorgeous veggies !
ReplyDeletelove markets, anywhere but especially in France and Italy !
bonne journée

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous discovery your beautiful blog is! I have to thank Paulita for her Dreaming of France meme that brought me here. Fab!
ReplyDeleteAnd not an imperfect veggie to be seen in this beautiful tableau! Bonne semaine, Genie --
ReplyDeleteGotta love the open markets in Paris!
ReplyDeleteHow bright and lovely.. (and healthy) looking! :) I see delicious tomatoes to eat whole like apples.. yummy marinara sauce.. not French, i know. Steamed broccoli, stuffed red and green peppers. This display also looks festive.. Christmas-y. Love it.
ReplyDeleteWonderful looking produce.
ReplyDeleteMarkets are great places for taking photos. The colors and the life are good.
