Some 65 open-air markets (
marché volant
) float around the
arrondissements
, appearing on certain days in one location
and moving elsewhere on others. Markets are generally open
from 8:00 am-1:00 pm; many areas have several open on
different days or a different selection of vendors. Each market
has its own personality, and some have an international
flavour to match their surroundings. For a complete list of
all the markets with their opening days and hours, access
the city's website: http://www.v1.paris.fr/EN/Living/markets/
markets.asp. For the ultimate in market experiences, visit Le
Potager du Roi, the charming vegetable garden of Louis XIV
at Versailles (http://www.potager-du-roi.fr). Still a working
garden, run by the National Horticultural School, it holds a
market shop that sells freshly picked produce.
Market Streets
A
rue commerçante
is a street lined with food shops. Most are
open on Sunday mornings and closed on Mondays, and many
are pedestrian streets, creating a festive atmosphere. In small
shops that are not
libre-service
(self-service), you may be asked
to pay at the
caisse
(cashier) after ordering your food, then to
bring the receipt back to the counter to receive the packages.
