One of the most beautiful sights in all of Paris is surely the daily open air markets throughout the twenty neighborhood arrondissement.
They vary by day, and using a market du jour guide you can make a wonderful stroll of it, wandering from marche to marche, pausing for petit dejuner – breakfast in one neighborhood, an dejuner – lunch (always always with rose cotes du rhone) in the next.
One of my favorites is a daily market street, Rue Montorgueil. The gourmet shops spill deep into the sidewak creating an open air market all day, all week long.
The fruit and vegetable stands are living, organic works of art, non?
We scooped up a few kilo of Mirabelles and Peche, and enjoyed them both as an afternoon snack and a fruit pyramide on our kitchen table.
