Shopping Scene<\/strong><\/p>\n

The area east of Place de la Bastille is known as the Faubourg Saint Antoine. Along rue de Faubourg Saint Antoine you are able to find some French chain fashion stores, but if you get off the main drag you can find all sorts of cool little boutiques scattered around the area.<\/p>\n

And if you are headed north away from Bastille towards Place de la Republique don\u2019t miss the cool concept store Merci, located at 111 boulevard Beaumarchais 75003, where you can find used books, designer and haute couture clothes and mega discounts \u2013 and all profits go to charity!<\/p>\n

Food, Restaurant and Nightlife<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Markets<\/strong>
\nIf you are staying in an apartment near la Bastille you have two wonderful markets at your doorstep. Every morning except Monday you can wander the colorful stalls of the Marche d\u2019Aligre just off of rue de Faubourg Saint Antoine near metro Ledru Rollin. A typical French market, you can find everything from fresh milk and cheese to fresh cherries and apricots or homemade pate. Enjoy a glass of wine after your finished shopping at the lively Baron Rouge (1 rue Th\u00e9ophile Roussel) while rubbing shoulders with the fishmongers, butchers or trendy locals.<\/p>\n

Richard Lenoir open-air market<\/strong>
\nRight off of Place de la Bastille is one of Paris\u2019 largest open-air markets along Boulevard Richard Lenoir, open Thursday and Sunday mornings. Here you\u2019ll find the food market stalls with the occasional addition of clothes or jewelry vendors and live music.<\/p>\n
