Marché Saint Quentin
I knew of this covered market, but had not visited Saint Quentin, one of the few remaining covered markets in Paris. The fruits and vegetables are acceptable, but this market shines with its international flavor and food offerings. The soaring ceilings have been protecting Paris shoppers for over a hundred years.
There are delicacies from Africa and Italy, spices from north Africa, and even Pasteis from Portugal. There are a few vendors with region-specific foods from France and a beer boutique.

Bonjour ma chère Génie,
Je ne connais pas ce marché couvert.
Si une jour tu viens à Lyon, je t'emmènerai aux halls de la ville. Je suis certaine que tu vas être contente...
Je t'attends...
Une très jolie photo que j'apprécie beaucoup.
De gros bisous
Je passais souvent devant en sortant de la gare du nord. C'est comme un oasis de calme dans ce quartier si agité.
A very cosmopolitan market with lots of choice Genie. We often head for markets when we a travelling. It think it provides a real insight into a city and its people.
i like this kind of markets very much!
It looks like a wonderful place to shop. I always enjoy going to markets and often bring things home from them.
Not too busy when you were there though. :~}
Looks like a good market.
I, too, put off visiting this fabulous market.
Your composition is lovely It shows off the architecture and some of the booths, but it evokes a sadness because of the absence of people.
I agree with with Jack!!! Where are the shoppers???
Just another place to add to my list , :-) I love markets with a difference, thanks for sharing,
