This fresh assortment of seafood is seen daily at the market in Place Maubert. You can buy your sardines here, wine at the store next door while greeting le petit chien, fromage at Fromage (bien sûr). On the corner you can buy vegetables of the season and just a block away you can buy the best baguettes in Paris, Baguette Monge, at Eric Kayser's boulangerie.
It may take you some time to make your purchases as you chat with the vendors... very friendly and helpful with recommendations... (repeat daily)

wow, that s a great pic !!! c est bon !!! a la prochaine ma chere, Kathrin
la Place Maubert est un endroit bien agréable très tôt le matin et comme tu le dis on y trouve des produits de très bonnes qualités, il y a toujours beaucoup de monde mais c'est quand même très agréable, c'est le V ème
arrondissement!
Pour la petite histoire:Place Maubert en 1210 on construisit des maisons sur cette place, qui fut appelée place Aubert. Elle devait cette dénomination, selon Jaillot, à Aubert, second abbé de Sainte-Geneviève.
Bonne journée Génie

Hmmm, Genie... Tu me mets l'eau à la bouche. Vite, je prends un panier et je t'accompagne au marché!
Bonne journée!
Yep, that's what it's like in Old Europe......
Breakfast time here, so I'll stick with the baguette (aka barra de cuarto here), et un grand creme, siouplait!
My dream is to be versed enough in French as to converse with the locals on this level. I do hope it is possible :) --- wonderful post x
Great photo, great food tip! Thanks, Genie.
OMG. It's almost noon, well, 11...and I'm so hungry now! MMMM. Langouste in a Pastis sauce. This photo makes my mouth water...
That is a nice composition with excellent food!
It's so nice when we can find nice people, have a little chat while shopping!
It's something that I miss here ( generally they are very closed, I mean no smiles and no conversation, sometimes inside a store, the attendant barely looks at you) :(

Ah, yes these wonderful displays of food that are found all over France. How do they resist? Or why are they all not 300 lbs?
Well I guess it's fish stew today.....the problem will be finding the bread! Rx
Seafood and eat it that's me especially fish pie!!!
Very nice image.
Hum! Miam! Miam! Your beautiful pic made my mouth water!

Seems so much better than the oatmeal porridge I had for breakfast today. Domage!
You're becoming very French.
I can almost feel the scent of the cold sea.
Hi Genie! Pretty pic, tasty too!
I'm wondering why I'm suddenly hungry...:o)
It is lunchtime. I think I need to go forage in the frig.
this did it! we're packing now...i'll call when we arrive. kidding, but oh, if only. this shot and your words convinced my aspiring chef that we must move!...someday. as always genie, your blog brings great joy!
Avec le printemps qui s'installe, c'est un véritable bonheur que de faire le marché... J'aime les ambiances de marché... les odeurs, les couleurs et les sons...
Bisous
It sounds like a lovely place to shop :)
I love seafood. Presentation always makes things look even tastier!
Great shot. I just had a dish with sardines about 3 nights ago...love them. There are lots of good recipes on the web using sardines.
To all:
Cath -- Thank you for the history of this place.
Richard -- Alons-y! J'adore l'expression «mettre l'eau à la bouche» (Merci!)
Samantha -- Please bring the Pastis sauce and I will pick up the langouste!
Léia -- This is a neighborhood and I have been in this area for many years (until my last trip) so they do get to know you
Rx, Virginia, Malyss,and Cildemer -- I will pick up the baguettes and we will have quite a dinner. Okay, Jack, you can come, too.
Bear -- Oatmeal porridge is okay with me for breakfast so I can eat with less restraint the remainder of the day
Suzanne -- You could spend days just painting the scene here in this market area
martine -- Moi aussi
Halcyon and Bill -- Please join the party. I would love some delicious grilled sardines like i had in Greece!
Sign me up ... I'll have one of each! Miam, miam and beautiful!
Quite the assortment. Lovely photo too.
Marie -- C'est possible!
Randy -- We'll grill a few extras for you too, my friend!
I took a very similar photo! Place Maubert is a nice place, I also like Rue Mouffetard very much! But I missed the baguette at Eric Kayser. Well, one more item for my to-do-list...
Miam.
Looks like ingredients for a marvelous feast.
