Marché d'Aligre combines an open-air produce market with the covered Marché Beauvau and a flea market section, running since the 18th century in the 12th arrondissement.

What people say

"Not worth going if you have to pay for the metro tickets to get there. Worth visiting if you have absolutely nothing to do on a Sunday, are on the monthly unlimited metro pass, or live in the neighborhood. This Sunday market mainly sells produce you’d be able to easily find in any other supermarket. As other reviewers have noted, a lot of the produce aren’t even from France. Only a handful of stalls were actually selling region-identified produce. There is also a market building with permanent stalls nearby. Has some good butchers and a cheese store with good butter selection. That being said, vendors were extremely kind and friendly."
