Marché Maubert
since 1547
The flowers in the street market appear with the daylight, at Marché Maubert, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Most of the vendors display their wares at Marché Monge on the other days of the week. Both of these markets have a flavor of the neighborhoods, and I have stayed just around the corner of Marché Maubert on many visits to Paris.
If you return late in the day, you would not even imagine that there had been a street market only a few hours earlier. The vendors fold up their tents for another day. The city of Paris supplies and installs the poles and supports for this market at Place Maubert and at other market sites around the city.

Such glorious bursts of colour Genie. I'll bet they are a welcome sight in the midst of Winter.
What a relief to see some color. It's really grey here.
Love the colors but the prices seem a bit high to me.
Beautiful colors ... A breath of Spring on this gloomy Winter day!!
I want to reach right into my computer screen and grab those flowers and sniff them! SO beautiful and just what I needed to see today!
Gorgeous colours, Genie!
That IS like a breath of fresh spring air! I first shopped at this market back in the '60s—but I'm sure I didn't realize it had already been around for more than 400 years when I showed up!
So beautiful. Tulips are my favorite, but I hate how quickly they fade.
Great assortment.
Love this colorful image. Your many viewers from up north will love it, too.
I can imagine scooping up a bunch of flowers on a gray day in the Paris winter... I can imagine that there are many of us who need a bright spot in the gray days of winter, no matter where we live!
One of the benefits of a photo blog is the ability to view all the other cities around the world. In the winter months, the Southern Hemisphere looks especially cheerful with warm days and blue skies.
Bon weekend,
Genie
