Nearly every day of the week, you'll find various specialized food shops along Rue de Buci and Rue de Seine that can provide you with any kind of French delicacy (or simply basic groceries) you could ever think of! Some of the shops take turns closing on Sundays or Mondays, which is totally the norm in Paris, but you won't have a problem stocking up on everything you need here.
• The second closest market is the Marché Maubert, which takes place on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings from 7am - 2:30pm. This is a traditional open-air market with a combination of permanent food shops and stalls. One of the best cheesemongers in the entire city is located here - Fromagerie Laurent Dubois. To get there, we recommend walking along the riverbanks past the beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral, then taking a right into the heart of the Latin Quarter (via Rue Frédéric Sauton or the charmingly petite Rue Bièvre).
