When you visit a market, don't hesitate to get into conversation with the locals. It's an excellent opportunity to discover their culture, their culinary habits and indeed, ask for traditional recipes.
Market vendors and locals are often delighted to share their culinary knowledge and give you tips on how to prepare dishes. Don't hesitate to ask questions about ingredients, cooking methods or even tips on how to make a particular dish.
In some markets in Paris, credit card payments may not be accepted. It is therefore essential to make sure you have enough cash on you. We recommend that you carry a minimum of €5 to €10, otherwise you'll need to withdraw cash from an ATM near the market.
