Marché Dejean

Tucked around Rue Dejean in the Goutte d'Or district, this street market has been the main African and Caribbean market in Paris since the 1970s.

It sells whole fish, yams, plantains, spices and produce found nowhere else in the city, in a dense, cheerful atmosphere that spills into the surrounding streets.

Tip: Tuesday to Sunday morning. Come curious and travel light, as the aisles are narrow. Allow 20 minutes, combined with a walk around Barbès.
