The 9 Best Markets in Paris (2026)

Updated November 2026 · 9 picks

The best food markets in Paris in 2026 are Marché d'Aligre (Tuesday to Sunday), Marché Bastille (Thursday and Sunday) and the organic Marché Raspail on Sundays. Monge, Président Wilson, Saxe-Breteuil, the Batignolles organic market, Belleville and Maubert round out the list. Go early.

A Paris market is a morning errand, not an afternoon one. The city's open-air markets set up at about 7 am and pack up by early afternoon, so arrive before noon for the best choice. The days and hours below come from paris.fr, the City of Paris site, as shown in early November 2026; they can change on holidays, so check before a special trip. One famous name is missing for now: the Marché des Enfants Rouges in the 3rd arrondissement has been closed since a fire in October 2026, and access is suspended until further notice. Bring a bag and cash for small stalls, and pair a market morning with our best cheese shops in Paris and best bakeries in Paris.
