Deciding where to live in Paris

[lucas thomas]

Druckenbrodt,

Clearly there are an embarassing number of great markets in Paris. I think that choosing a neighborhood that pleases you and has excellent access to transport should be first priorities. I spent last year, as some other responders, going from market to market. There are a great number of markets, most of which have already been covered, that are clearly fine for the on the go, gotta have salad greens kind of shopping, and there are lots, like President Wilson, which take your breath away(and which is surprisingly inexpensive if you're shopping intelligently). I second the recommendation that you find a copy of 'Paris in a Basket' or 'Paris dans un panier' which was an excellent resource for me, in particular the indexes that list markets by arrondissement, by the days they take place, and by a rating from one to five stars. Cheers.
