We will be staying on Blvd Richard Lenoir and plan to go this market on Sunday. What does this market sell? I have hear about the vegetables, fruit and
meat. Do they sell bread and crossiants? Do they sell clothing?
|||
I haven%26#39;t been in a few weeks but they were selling clothing, nothing of a great quality. There was some bread but you are better off finding a boulangerie for the croissants. Good cheese and flowers to be found at the markets.

Inthegarden, if you have time befor you leave then you might try your local library or Chapters for %26quot;Paris in a Basket%26quot; ISBN 3-8290-4624-3. All the markets are profiled in the book. There appears to (at least when published) be a boulanger at the market

The official name for this Sunday street marché along Blvd. Richard Lenoire, running north from Place de la Bastille is MARCHÉ de la CRÉATION. But it is actually a mix/jumble of all sorts of art, general merchandise and foods.
Perhaps some of this will help to give you a better idea of what%26#39;s available..at least in the way of art.

%26lt;%26lt;The official name for this Sunday street marché along Blvd. Richard Lenoire, running north from Place de la Bastille is MARCHÉ de la CRÉATION. But it is actually a mix/jumble of all sorts of art, general merchandise and foods.%26gt;%26gt;
The %26quot;MARCHÉ de la CRÉATION%26quot; is on SATURDAY and is worth the visit. We just took our (my) in-laws there today. There is absolutely no food at the Marché de la Création. It%26#39;s strictly art.
The SUNDAY market: Marché Bastille (Marché Richard-Lenoir) on Blvd Richard Lenoir at the Bastille (Same location) is 90% food. There is no art except for the culinary variety. There are a few clothing vendors and some vendors of books and what-not but it%26#39;s the place to get food on Sunday. As FlashBy sez %26lt;%26lt;you are better off finding a boulangerie for the croissants%26gt;%26gt; Don%26#39;t go there for bread or pastries. It%26#39;s a great market and should be high on everyone%26#39;s list but breads baked fresh at the location of the actual oven should be the goal.
We keep a copy of %26quot;Paris in a Basket%26quot; on our coffee table and gift it to our friends who are visiting for the first time. Great book, great pictures. The schedule for markets in the index is out of date but mostly correct. Get this book.

Go to this website to see the food markets of Paris, there are so many of them, but the Marché Bastille is always said to be one of the best.
As you can see below, it is open on Thursdays and Sundays, but Sunday is by far the busiest day. The Thursday market has a few fewer stands.
This is our neighborhood weekly market, and we have learned to go early, before 9:30am, to beat the huge crowds. It is mostly food, there are a few stands selling clothes, but this is a serious food market, and if you buy just a bit of everything that appeals to you, you will have to invite several friends over to help you eat it all. We know because we did this when we first arrived, now we go with a list.
There are several bread stands, but I don%26#39;t think that I have ever seen croissants. But, since we don%26#39;t look for them, there may be there and we just haven%26#39;t noticed.

I forgot to add the above mentioned web site. Here it is:

Oooops...booted that. Nice catch. The Yankees are in need a quick, sure-handed second baseman this season. If you can hit a major league curve ball as well as you field; there may be a second career awaiting you in the infield in the Bronx.

My experience is that is that it%26#39;s quite food orientated on a Sunday. We got a nice bottle of champagne and picnic food.
Have been by on other days when there seemed to be clothes and so on.
