The Mouton Duvernet Market, more super than a supermarket!

Its official. Today you can be a city-dweller and eat quality food.

This open-air market is a great opportunity for Parisians to buy seasonal fruits and vegetables grown in the surrounding countryside. Apples, tomatoes, carrots and potatoes or imports from much farther such as oranges, guavas, litchis and even those smelly and yet delicious durians. Butchers and delicatessens have a wide range of quality meats. It is not uncommon to see farmers selling their products directly which is a good way to buy fresh eggs, dairy products and a range of ripe and tasty cheeses. Pastry-lovers will find it hard to resist a delicious apple tart or a piece of Turkish delight.

That's what the Parisian market is all about: a blend of local production and cosmopolitanism, tastes and cultures. It is the best way to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a district and find produce from all over the world.

All year long :     Tuesday and Friday from 07:00 to 14:30
