The first time I strolled rue Cadet market street in Paris, I couldn’t get beyond the noise and dust of nearby construction. I’ve returned several times since that gritty introduction and, even though construction sites still lurk nearby, I’ve come to enjoy this very typical Parisian street market.
Rue Cadet market street caters to residents and office workers in this part of the 9th arrondissement. You’ll find everything from shoe repair and hardware to a bagel shop and Asian takeaway food.

There are also several cafés, wine stores, a florist, and more. One surprise was stumbling upon an austere modern building that houses the Freemasons Museum. Look beyond the drab colors of the street’s buildings and enjoy the bright produce and other interesting discoveries waiting to be found along rue Cadet.
