The Rue de Grenelle Market
This market is open on Wednesdays and Sundays, from 7am to 2:30 pm. It is very large and is located between the Motte-Piquet and Dupleix Metro, under the overhead metro bridge. Residents flock to this market on Wednesdays and Sundays; our advice is to go early to do your best shopping. This is a true neighborhood market-- the choice is wide, quality is high and prices very good. You will want to look for everything from fresh fish and flowers to delicious breads and cheeses to desserts. On certain Sundays, there is an antique's market as well. The selection varies from high quality finds to 1950's memorabilia and it makes a great promenade.

The Saxe-Bruteuil Market
This well known market is open from 7am to 2:30 pm every Thursday and Saturday morning. Among the many markets in Paris, this has the reputation of being one of the best and certainly the most beautiful. It starts at Place de Breteil and stretches to Avenue de Segur.
