Paris: the markets

Paris, other than being the city of fashion and of typical neighbourhoods, like Montmartre, Saint Germain, Pigalle, Marais etc... it is also the city of characteristics in disguise, proved by its typical bistros and little markets. The most vivacious typical markets are; the Saint Denis markets, di Monge, Enfants Rouges and Raspail. The Monge market, near the Rue Mouffetard, is situated in Place Monge, one of the Paris markets that has become famous thanks to the waves of tourists that visit daily and from its fresh characteristic products.

Another special place is the biological market of Raspail, which is situated on the Gauche bank, founded in 1920, it became one of the most expensive and fascinating markets of the city. The most curious of the markets is the Enfants Rouges, situated in the most chic neighbourhood of Paris- Marais. Taking its name from the old orphanage that used to be close by with its children dressed in red as a sign of charity, this is the most remote market of Paris, its construction climbed back up in 1615 under the power of King Louis XII; more recently in 1982, this market was deemed a historic monument. Paris is also home to the largest flea market, Saint Owen; Unique prices can be found at this market, from antique furniture to old books; a personal shopper service is also available, an expert of art objects that guides visitors to their precious purchase.
