Rounds, wedges and small individual cheeses fill the displays, with a cheesemonger able to cut a portion for a modest lunch as well as a larger purchase. Charcuterie, butchers, fishmongers and fruit-and-vegetable sellers give the hall its everyday purpose. A visitor carrying only a shopping bag can assemble bread accompaniments and fruit, while someone with a kitchen has a much wider choice of ingredients.\n\nSeveral businesses have long neighbourhood connections. At the family butcher run by Florian Bocciarelli and his wife, sausages and pâtés are made on site; other counters specialise in oils, spices and groceries. That mixture is more interesting than treating the hall as a single attraction with one signature dish. The useful question is what looks ready to eat today, and what belongs in a kitchen rather than in a picnic bag.\n\n#### The outdoor market and BO’s bakery\n\nOutside, Place d’Aligre adds another market scene. Produce stalls and second-hand sellers occupy different parts of the surrounding space, with the covered hall’s low roof and clock tower helping to orient the walk. The outdoor stalls have their own morning rhythm; the hall can reopen in the afternoon on weekdays after its lunch closure.\n\n[BO’s bakery]() on rue de Charenton makes a nearby continuation for bread or something sweet. From there, the planted promenade of the [Coulée verte]() offers a different perspective on the district, above the streets around Bastille. Shopping at Beauvau gives that walk a food stop with a real neighbourhood setting, rather than an excuse to carry a full restaurant meal across town.\n\n![Marché d’Aligre & covered Beauvau, Paris]()\n\nFood markets **Marché d’Aligre & covered Beauvau** Paris\n\nIn pictures\n\n### The full gallery.\n\n02 / The essentials\n\n### Marché d’Aligre & covered Beauvau: visit essentials\n\n1. 01\n\n Aligre / Bastille\n2. 02\n\n Allow 45–75 minutes\n3. 03\n\n Covered Beauvau: Tuesday–Friday 08:00–13:00 and 16:00–19:30; Saturday 08:00–19:30; Sunday 08:00–13:30.
