Staying away from the city centre and touristic area allows you to experience a typical French neighbourhood. At Marché Cours de Vincennes, the vendors love to talk about their products and welcome you to take plenty of pictures! From fish, shellfish, meats, cheese, fresh-cut flowers, breads and many more items! The people here are definitely one of the friendliest I have met in Paris.

The produce here are definitely fresh and the stall owners are proud of their goods being Productions de l'Ile de France or produced in France. There are many local artisanal alternatives and the marches makes it easy to avoid industrial food and pre-packaged produce.

Rows of beautiful meat, some of which have been well marinated.
All sorts of meat
The vendors made it their produce easy to cook. For example, some of the meat have been tied up for roasting. You can get many fresh produce here!
You must be thinking, I don't have a kitchen. Why should I visit this market?
They have ready-to-eat produce! You can get a well roasted chicken for a picnic. After all, the Kampung Chicken we have in Singapore is a breed of chicken that originated from France. Yummy.
Poulet
There are plenty of fruits available! Some of them which can be eaten without much preparation. Strawberries, Raspberry, Peaches and many more!

Look at those figs. We only see dried ones in Singapore. Figs are commonly eaten raw with a little cheese or dairy spread over them.

Marché Cours de Vincennes
Visiting a market is a great way to meet the locals! There are plenty of Marches(markets) around Paris and you should set aside time to visit at least one of them:
If you are interested in vintage items, head down to a flea market such as the Porte de Clignancourt, Paris's largest flea market.
If you like a historic food market, Marche des Enfants Rouges has a nice wine bar.
What you need to know:
- Marché Cours de Vincennes opens on Wednesdays from 7:00am - 2:30pm and Saturdays from 7:00am - 3:00pm. However, some stores close as early as 1:00pm.
- The market attracts more regional maraichers than you will find in most Paris markets.
- There are plenty of markets in Paris, visit one that is close to your hotel!
