The surroundings of Le SévignéTips for your stay in our apartmentAlong the Rue des Archives, you can reach at 39 Rue de Bretagne the Marché des Enfants Rouges.
Built at the request of Louis XIII in 1615, is famous for being the
oldest food market of Paris. It is called in this way because it
occupies the premises of a former orphanage whose unfortunate guests
wore red clothes. The market extends from the Rue de Bretagne, where you
can identify the beginning with a pound sign, until the Marais. In
this historic place of Paris the atmosphere is very lively and bubbly,
where the smells of fresh fruit and flowers mingle with the voices of
passers-by, the cries of the vendors and the sounds of the market: open
daily, except Mondays, you can also buy meats, cheeses, wine and olive
oil. Besides shopping, you can come to the Marché des Enfants
Rouges for lunch: you can buy food in one of the many stands and eat it
in public tables located at the end of the market. The market is very
popular with the inhabitants of the third arrondissement who have dubbed
the "place du village" to emphasize the membership function and
user-friendly market. |
