Nord Marais
Le Marché des Enfants Rouges
One of the oldest covered markets in France, an absolute must. It’s nested behind a row of buildings, so you could easily miss the arched entrance to this nearly 400 year-old farmers market. But once you walk in, it’s a wonderland of all sorts of savory treats. You can find lots of stands serving food from different cuisines, Moroccan, Italian, Japanese, Lebanese... At lunch time the sights and smells are intoxicating: from the falafel and shawarma sandwiches available at the Lebanese vendor; to the tender lamb tajine and couscous in the exotic Moroccan corner. Everywhere you go the delicious smell of food will get you enchanted. The market also offers produce from fresh vegetables, to fruit, flowers and cheeses, it’s always worth a walk.
