The Sunday market at Bastille is quite large and has a wide variety of goods for sale from foods to clothing to cheap trinkets to hardware & household items. I especially liked the stall with beautiful scarves made from remnants of silk. I was there after 1pm so some of the vendors were breaking down their stalls but there was still plenty to see.

The Bastille market is located on Boulevard Richard Lenoir and it extends from rue Amelot to rue Saint Sabin. It is a big market with many fruit and vegetable stalls, meat, cheese, clothing, kitchen knick knacks, scarves, and seafood. We enjoyed it and I recommend it but I rated 4 rather than 5 because I felt the concrete areas that the market is covering needed cleaning. Would be better if the city would hose down the bird debris off the benches, and clean up bedded areas before the market. Nevertheless, I still recommend the marketand particularly enjoyed the guitar player entertaining the crowds.

We love local street markets and booked our hotel close so we could attend the Sunday Market. Many locals shop here and there is a great selection. We bought food to snack in our room. We also bought lavender from a farmer who sells it loose or in sachets. We also purchased homemade soaps. These will make wonderful gifts. We hoped for maybe tie dye tee shirts or handwoven textiles but there were none to be found. We are going again to see more.
