CIAO·PARIS
One of 13 Paris types
The Marché Strategist
The market, then a lunch that runs long.
You work the market like a negotiation and build the day around lunch. The three hours at the table are on the schedule.
What they actually do
- Works the market in a fixed order
- Knows which stallholder has the better peaches
- Defends the afternoon nap
The contradiction
You haggle over peaches at the market, then order the second bottle without looking at the price.
A typical route
- Marché d'Aligre haul
- 3-hour lunch
- nap defended aggressively
Where they go
Three places from the carnet, picked by this type's two leanings: Foodie counts double, Culture once.
- 4e · Eat · Under 15 €BerthillonQueue at 31 rue Saint-Louis-en-l'Île for two scoops, then eat them on the quai d'Orléans, facing the back of Notre-Dame.
- 9e · Eat · Under 15 €Bouillon ChartierQueue on rue du Faubourg-Montmartre, take the table you are given, and watch the waiter write your bill on the tablecloth.
- 12e · Market · Under 15 €Marché d'AligreBuy whatever the stalls on rue d'Aligre are shouting about, then go into the covered Beauvau hall for cheese.
