One of the joys of exploring this fabulous city is to wander through a Paris market or two, whether it be old clothing, second hand belts, stamps [timbres] or fresh fruit and vegetables, patés, beef, chicken or veal. Pop over to any one of these locations and have a grand time, ambling around, talking to the stall holders, practicing your French … and enjoying every moment!
Come on … flea markets in Paris, shopping in Paris … what could be more fun?
Teena’s video introduction to Paris Markets & Flea Markets (video length 1.49 minutes)
I love this photo I took (below), the Parisians are so lucky to have fresh fruit and produce markets all year round, and this is one thing I really miss now that I’m not living in Paris.
Always colourful, a Paris Market will keep you occupied for hours on end
