One of the nicest things in Paris are its food markets ! Usually it starts early, like 7 a.m or 8 am (before going to school) and ends up by 1 p.m. The good thing is either to go early and escape the crowd + pick up the best items or at the end, when it's getting calmer and sales people offer big discounts for last products.
Here is a list of food markets I would recommand :
1/ Great price and great value for fruits and vegetables, with a nice 'bistrot' surrounding, second-hand trade and delicacies from Maghreb :
Le Marché d'Aligre
Tuesday to Friday morning + Sunday morning
2/ Great great price and funny "souk" atmosphere, nice mint smells and place for bargain :
Le Marché de Ménilmontant
Tuesday and Friday morning
3/ Beautiful products, more space to breathe, more quiet and clean :
Le Marché Popincourt
Tuesday and Friday morning
4/ Cute, vegan, quite quiet and peaceful, oldest market in Paris based where you can have lunch :
Le Marché des Enfants Rouges
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday : from 8h30 to 13h and 16h to 19h30
Friday and Saturday : from 8h30 to 13h and 16h à 20h
Sunday : from 8h30 to 14h
5/ Refined selection, beautiful and quiet, green and delicate :
Le Marché Anvers
Friday : from 15h to 20h30
