WARES AT A NEIGHBORHOOD MARKET


THAT UNDER THE 13TH'S AERIAL MÉTRO IS TYPICAL
(MARCHÉ VINCENT AURIOL, UNDER LINE 6)



Meat, fish, fruits, vegetables...


...and everyday articles at a fraction of store prices: housewares, electronic accessories, toothpaste, magic markers, batteries, crayons, brushes, belts...



  
...flowers...


...cheese...

These cheeses from farmers in Auvergne in central France are better than those at supermarkets or even organic chain stores.

...herbs...



...clothing...




...furniture...


...violins... .

Immigrants enrich it with...

  • Everyday products at lower prices — here, organic eggs  —  and in the background, imports such as the olive oils, honey, dates and figs:


  • Home cooking.

Moroccan and Lebanese specialties, prepared on the spot

  • Crafts (please click and scroll down).

   Vests by Cameroon's Bernaditte Elogo Abatchongo, behind them. 

 

  • Beauty products, plastic sandals, boubous... .

  • Energy: "One euro, one euro!" North Africans joyfully cry out, to sell fruit and vegetables at the market's end.

 
Supermarkets are anonymous.
Markets have a soul.
