Paris: Where to Shop: Markets

Tip from Loulou de la Falaise

“I love to go to the markets at the Marché aux Puces de Saint Ouen. I start with breakfast in one of the neighborhood’s authentic Parisian bistros. A few of my favorites include: Café Loom (142 rue des Rosiers; 33-1-40-10-04-26) at the Marché Malassis, L’Opus Café (5 rue Jules Vallès; 33-1-40-11-46-23), Chez la Môme (17 rue Lecuyer; 33-1-40-11-45-14) and Le Marché Biron (85 rue des Rosiers; 33-1-40-11-59-69; www.marchebiron.fr). In May, there’s a wonderful brocante antiques market at the Bastille (Place de la Bastille;33-1-56-53-93-93; www.joel-garcia-organisation.fr) and when I’m there, I like to have breakfast at Restaurant Bofinger (5-7 rue de la Bastille; 33-1-42-72-87-82).”
