Market Stroll In Place Monge

The place is full of distinctive colors: electrifying red from pepper bells, fresh green from French herbs, pure white from onions, and lively violet from French Navet. This is the regular scene in the popular market of Place Monge. Travelers, tourists, visitors -- all market enthusiasts are often fascinated by the charm of this busy space along the 5th arrondisement of Paris. This port of fresh vegetables seekers is open only every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday between 8 am to 1 pm when all excited French vendors offer their excellent gardeners.

If you are looking for a collection of potatoes just go to "Rois des Patates," where they offer potatoes that you would never think abide. Your adored baguette au levain is only found at the top place, that is, S. Hervet. For fruit lovers and vegetable seekers, Patrick Casson's place is impeccable for its exalted cherries and golden Mirabelle plums. Marc Mascetti has the most tender beans and succulent baby peas. If you find yourself jaded and confused of these many shops along Monge market, just drop by Rendez-Vous du Marche to have a sip of redolent coffee and to relax yourself before you indulge in a colorful market tour again.
