Mouffetard Market

Local name: Marché Mouffetard

Mouffetard Street in Paris is the street where the market square is located. It is a place where you can buy fresh vegetables, fruit, cheese, meat, meats and fish. Vendors offer a whole range of wines and other drinks. In the restaurants, you can enjoy both traditional French cuisine and cuisines from around the world.

Parisians have always liked fresh food, and due to the size of the French capital, access to the city has been limited since the Middle Ages. Every day, farmers and food producers from the agricultural areas scattered around the metropolis flocked to individual streets to sell their goods. One such street was Mouffetard.

With time and with the advancing civilization, the rules of keeping the market clean began to apply. From here, the stalls were gradually cleaned, and producers and traders moved into the stores. More bars and restaurants were opened. Nowadays, the street is bustling with life on weekdays and on weekends until late evening hours.
