Le plus beau marché parisien selon les avis sur Google. Les Parisiens devraient sortir un peu, c'est un marché très banal.

Rien d'extraordinaire, un marché classique.

The outside of the market

❤3

The outside of the market — All fruit and vegetable vendors offer the same assortment of products. From 1pm onwards the merchants sell off the products they don't want to repack. You can make bargains if you like haggling.

The stall of a merchant

❤4

The stall of a merchant — As in the supermarket, you can find all the fruits and vegetables at the Aligre market. There is nothing really local, the organic is not very present.

A small producer

A small producer — Most of the sellers are wholesalers, but there are a few producers who only sell what they produce. The queue in front of the stand shows that the customers have understood this.

The place of Aligre

❤2

The place of Aligre — The renovation of the square seems to date back to the 70's with these blocks of buildings surrounding the square. As in many markets, next to the food part, there is a second-hand part with many used book sellers.

The covered market

The covered market — There is also a tiny covered market, there are only a few stalls. The quality is there but the prices are Parisian.
