When the iconic monuments and the hordes of tourists start to tire you, there's Charonne, the "real" Paris to some, where people from many corners of the globe call home. Disparate cultures, incomes, and ages collide to bring you a Paris that is different from the postcards. Spanning from the 11th arrondissement to the 12th, Charonne is young and energetic. Local business owners are friendly, always available, and in a perpetually relaxed state of being. With its trendy, boho clientele, Charonne offers a truly eclectic and unique Parisian experience in the north-eastern part of the city.
Le Marché de Charonne is large and typically French. Food everywhere, from everywhere. You’ll find many varieties of traditional French products (fish, meat, and organic fruits and vegetables) as well as more unique offerings from the Caribbean and Arab countries. Make sure to catch it, every Wednesday and Saturday, mornings only.
