If you’re in the Latin Quarter you have several market options. Place Monge is one of my favorites for its friendly vibe and broad selection. The market spreads out over a charming square.
Place Monge
Children play chase and pigeons dip their feathers in the splashing fountain. Food options include high-quality vegetables and fruits, olives, cheeses, and much more–as well as several stands selling prepared foods. Vendors near the street and Métro entrance offer scarves, jewelry, and other temptations.
