Fodor's Expert Review Marché Edgar Quinet

To experience local living in one of the best ways, visit this excellent street market that takes place every Wednesday and Saturday. On Wednesday, there are produce and food stands, but also inexpensive clothing, jewelry, household items, and fun souvenirs. Saturday is a food lover's paradise with multiple stands selling fresh produce, spices, olives, fish, cheese, meat, and other gastronomic pleasures. It's a good place to pick up lunch on the go before paying your respects at Cimetière du Montparnasse across the street.
