Rue Cler (Market Street), Paris

Rue Cler is one of Paris's most fantastic market streets, a true feast for the senses. Visitors will be treated to every imaginable gourmet delight, as well as florists, chocolatiers, organic cosmetics, and wine shops. Lively cafés and bistros overflow with locals, particularly on weekends.

The options are endless, whether you're looking for fresh bread, sandwich fillings, pastries. Shopping for your evening meal is also a great idea – make sure to save the wine shop for last so you can pair the wine with your chosen meal. The French often shop daily for their meals as Parisian apartments typically have small refrigerators. Thus, they prefer the freshest produce and meats, which they'll eat the same day.

If you only have time for one street in this neighborhood, make it Rue Cler – it's a true gem.
