Rain or shine, the Sunday market

does not disappoint with an array of flowers and containers,

plus the birds, rabbits, and chickens!

Marché aux Fleurs

Ile Saint Louis

75004, Paris

On a Sunday morning amid the bustle of shopping at Marché d'Aligre,

this street scene in front of the boulangerie features individual characters

in the daily routine:

The queue of shoppers at the entrance,

the table of breads on the sidewalk,

a young French girl on her trottinette,

a baker delivering fresh baguettes from the oven.

What you miss are the aromas of the bread and the oysters just across the narrow street

and the hawking of produce in the sing-song of many different languages.

le Pain au Naturel

rue Théophile Roussel

75012

Ah, yes, just a quick stop

for a little bit of shopping...

(Must be a French girl)

rue Brémontier

75017, Paris

Marché Maubert

Paris is not just about the baguettes,

the pain de mie, the croissants, the tarts, the gâteaux...

Just stroll through one of the weekday street markets

to see some beautiful, fresh vegetables (and fruits)
