The market is a place to browse, make small purchases and watch the practical work of selling food in the city.\n\n#### Picnic shopping between Bastille and the Marais\n\nA bread-and-cheese lunch can grow out of the shopping, with fruit providing something easier to carry than a fragile dessert. Prepared dishes offer another route, although menus and the traders attending change. Prices displayed at one stall apply to that seller; a cheese marked by the kilogram is a different proposition from a priced portion or sandwich.\n\nThe market occupies a useful position between Bastille and the streets leading towards the [Marais]() . [Place des Vosges]() and the existing neighbourhood museums provide nearby continuations after the morning stalls. The day needs to begin with the market calendar, however: outside its Thursday and Sunday sessions, this boulevard walk has a different character, and Saturday’s creative market is a separate event.\n\n![Marché Bastille, Paris]()\n\nFood markets **Marché Bastille** Paris\n\nIn pictures\n\n### The full gallery.\n\n02 / The essentials\n\n### Marché Bastille: visit essentials\n\n1. 01\n\n Bastille / Richard-Lenoir\n2. 02\n\n Allow 45–75 minutes\n3. 03\n\n Food market: Thursday 07:00–13:30; Sunday 07:00–14:30 under the municipal venue timetable.
