Marché des Enfants Rouges
Posted on November 26, 2008 by Susie Hollands
What do our fellow Parisians think about our city’s oldest market* ?
The hedge fund controller says:
“First we can find you. Second you’re multicultural.”
The graphic designer says:
“The italian shop / restaurant 🙂 and the photography shop !”
The international banker says:
“I’ve only stopped by this Marché once and couldn’t decide what my favourite thing was. It’s a lovely place!“
The art curator says:
“The atmosphere changes the moment you step through the wrought iron
gate from rue de Bretagne, it is unique. The width of the shopkeepers
grin and their friendly chat invariably compensates for their tendency
to move at their own, leisurely pace – here there is all the time in the
world. A haven in the heart of Paris which provides the local
community with delicious, freshly prepared, international food.”
The PR executive says:
“People are so nice there. It’s a real French market where you can find good products and good advice for cooking. The Japanese restaurant is excellent!”
*Dates back to 1615.
