The food markets in Paris are a highlight for residents and visitors alike.The food vendors here take their food seriously, and the displays are mouth-watering to say the least.

Many vendors will offer you a little taste – a peu de goût – so you can be sure of the freshness and quality of their products. They enjoy sharing facts and cooking tips so don’t be shy if you have a question.

There is always a breathtaking selection of flowers at the markets that are hard to resist. You’ll soon notice the French carry their wrapped flowers upside down.
