Aligre Market

About me

I'm a devoted Parisian foodie, passionate about eating locally and responsibly. As a gastronomy professor, I teach in France and internationally. For 25 years, the Aligre market has been my culinary sanctuary—full of energy, history, and incredible vendors. Food is a nation's DNA, and exploring a local market reveals the soul of its cuisine. The market gets very busy on weekends, and I deeply respect the shopkeeper’s time, so I don’t offer this tour every day.
