Where to Find a Market Basket in Paris


where to find a market basket in paris

If you have been following along with the Paris Agenda you would know one of my goals was to find a market basket. Visiting the market in Paris is something I really love to do. I don’t always buy a lot but I love observing what is for sale and what fruits and vegetables are in season. I make it part of my weekly routine. My favorite market to visit is the Bastille Market and it is partly because it really is a fabulous market but also because it holds a lot of good memories. 

This trip around I really wanted to get a market basket for my weekly visits.  Since I was living in an apartment close it was a great opportunity to pick up some fresh fruits and of course peonies. I was lucky enough having a little help with finding the perfect basket. I asked my friend Magali and she had her eye out. After lunch one day we made a trip to this Droguerie at the end of rue de buci. There are a few of these in Paris. You can also find one on rue cler. 

This map should help you if you want to find the exact location in Paris:

There are so many different options: short straps, long straps, and baskets. I opted for the long steps so I could put it over my shoulder. It was around 30 euros this should help you budget in finding your own.

Now that I know where to find them I have basket envy and I want a few more. Hopefully next trip I will find room in my suitcase. Happy hunting and I hope this helps!

  1. I just returned from France and found market baskets at the weekly market on the city square in Saint-Mere-Eglise (Normandy). I bought several to bring back to the States to give my sisters and friends as gifts! I brought a large, mostly empty suitcase this trip with plenty of bubble wrap (I HAD to take home some favorite wines!!). I filled the stack of baskets in my suitcase with my clothes. They traveled beautifully this way! And now I have beautiful touches of France to give as practical gifts!

  2. I am currently in Paris and would LOVE to pick up a basket! Do you know if these locations still carey them? Or are there any you recommend near La Marais? Thank you so much-these tips are lifesavers!

  5. One advise for taking a basket with you in a suitcase: Don’t squish it flat. Fill it with your clothes and put it that way in your luggage. It stays nicely in shape and doesn’t get destroyed or cracked.

    • Such a smart idea! Thank you. I just picked up another market basket in Porto and I filled it with clothes tonight as I packed. I can’t wait to use it this Summer!
