One of the fantastic things about a city even as big as Paris is that people still prefer to eat fresh by purchasing from local markets rather than supermarket chains. There are very few large supermarkets the likes of Coles and Woolworths like we have here. We came across many of these fresh produce markets on our wanderings and they were always buzzing with locals buying what they needed for the week or just for the day. The fruit, vegetables, meat and seafood always looked amazing and the weather was so cold that oysters and squid stay perfectly fresh sitting in their baskets of ice surrounded by lemons and palm fronds as an added decorative touch. The flower stalls were beautifully bright and colourful amongst the weather. We came across these particular markets after we left the Bibliotheque Nationale on our way through the Latin Quarter.
