Aligre Greenmarket, Indoor and outdoor market in 12th arrondissement, Paris, France.

The market combines an outdoor section with fresh produce stalls and a covered section called Beauveau, offering meats, cheeses, and fish.

The covered Beauveau market building, established in 1779, served as a primary food source for local artisans and craftsmen of Faubourg Saint-Antoine.

North African merchants introduced their products and traditions to the market after the opening of Gare de Lyon in the early 1900s.

The outdoor market operates Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, while the covered section extends until 7:30 PM.

The market includes a daily flea market section where vendors display antiques, vintage books, African masks, and collectible items.

Paris attractions: alternative sites, hidden museums, local neighborhoods

Paris rewards visitors who venture beyond the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame. The Musée d'Orsay houses one of the world's finest Impressionist collections, while the Centre Pompidou showcases contemporary art in its distinctive inside-out building. Below ground, the Catacombs wind through tunnels lined with the remains of six million Parisians. Sainte-Chapelle preserves 15 towering windows of 13th-century stained glass that fill the Gothic chapel with colored light. Markets like Marché d'Aligre bring together fresh produce, vintage furniture, and antiques under one roof. The city's neighborhoods and waterways offer equally rewarding discoveries. Le Marais combines medieval architecture with boutiques, galleries, and restaurants in its narrow streets. The Coulée Verte René-Dumont transforms an abandoned railway viaduct into an elevated garden path. Along the Canal Saint-Martin, tree-lined banks invite afternoon walks and waterside gatherings. Père Lachaise Cemetery serves as both a park and the burial ground for writers, artists, and musicians. The Musée Rodin displays sculptures in an 18th-century mansion surrounded by gardens, while the Musée Jacquemart-André presents European masterworks in an elegant private residence. Rue Crémieux's pastel-painted facades create one of the city's most photographed corners.
