Market tips
Want to wander around Marché d’Aligre with a local? I wholeheartedly recommend the morning food walk with Silvia. She’ll get you the most delectable pain au chocolate and the best coffee in Paris (coffee can be terrible in Paris, but trust me, this is really good coffee!!). Then you’ll pick up fruit, olives, fresh baguette, meats and cheeses from different vendors at the market and have a little picnic. It’s the best way to spend a morning in Paris.
