"Founded in 1615 the Marche is the oldest outdoor market in Paris.
Named after the orphans of the nearby orphanage/hospital Marguerite de Valois- who were required to wear red uniforms.
The neighborhood referred to the children as the red infants, which is where the market got it's name.
The market has a vast number of merchants, from food to fresh produce, clothes and gifts. Grab some food from one of delicious eateries and enjoy the ambiance of the outdoor seating terraces."

"This came as a recommendation from an old Airbnb host and it did not disappoint. It's kind of hiding in plain sight in the middle of the historic Marais neighborhood. It's also the oldest food market in Paris dating back to 1615!
Now it's mostly produce and stalls featuring food from various immigrant groups within Paris. And it's a good place to find reasonably priced food. I remember eating these amazing Lebanese sandwiches there a few years back. "
