Marché Richard Lenoir
Even though markets are a year-round occurrence in France, they become so much more vibrant and enjoyable when the weather improves. The Richard Lenoir Market, located in my favorite arrondissement, le 11ième.
Considered the largest outdoor market in Paris, this market has essentially everything you could want - food, flowers, furniture, clothes and even sea urchins (seriously, check out my photos below for proof.)
It's also a great place to snag some cheap jewelry (as demonstrated by my previous post discussing my slight obsession with rings.)
When you're done stocking up on various goodies, I suggest you bring your findings up for a picnic along the Canal Saint-Martin, or wander over to Père Lachaise cemetery to check out some famous headstones.
