Marché couvert Saint-Martin

Marché couvert Saint-Martin is a covered market hall with a glass and iron structure in the 10th arrondissement. Inside, numerous vendors sell fresh produce, meats, cheeses, and specialty foods from different regions.

This market hall dates from 1854 and represents architectural innovations that emerged in Paris during the Second Empire period. The metal framework design was a modern solution for covered public markets at that time.

The market serves as a neighborhood gathering place where people come daily to shop and interact. The mix of French, North African, and European vendors shapes the local food culture of the area.

The market sits near Jacques Bonsergent metro station on Line 5, making it easy to reach. Visitors should plan to come during daytime hours when most vendors are present and selection is fullest.

The hall hosts an unusual combination where German specialty shops share space with Moroccan restaurants. This arrangement grew from migration waves across different periods and turns the market into a culinary crossroads for several European and North African communities.
