Marché d'Aligre, Paris

Marché d'Aligre is a working market spread across Place d'Aligre and Rue d'Aligre, with a covered hall beside an open-air market. The market runs every morning except Monday, while the covered section stays open throughout the day. Its covered Beauvau-Saint-Antoine hall was built in 1779 by Samson-Nicolas Lenoir and rebuilt in 1843 by Marc-Gabriel Jolivet.

The name recalls Étienne François d'Aligre, who served as first president of the Parliament of Paris when the market was built. Outside, antique dealers gather in a semicircle on the eastern half of the square. This is among Paris's oldest markets, and its covered section still gives the stop a strong sense of continuity: a place shaped by trade, rebuilding, and daily neighborhood life.
