Discover more about Le marché couvert Beauvau

Le Marché Couvert Beauvau, an integral part of the larger Marché d'Aligre, is a feast for the senses and a true taste of Parisian life. Located in the 12th arrondissement, between Place de la Bastille and Place de la Nation, this covered market has been a local favorite for centuries. Opened in 1781, the Beauvau covered market was initially intended to supply fresh food to the working-class residents of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine area. Constructed on the former marshy grounds of the Citeaux Abbey, it was named after Abbess Gabrielle-Charlotte de Beauveau. During the French Revolution, it was renamed Marché Lenoir before becoming part of the Marché d'Aligre in 1867, honoring Chancellor d'Aligre. Inside the market, you'll find stalls overflowing with fresh fruits and vegetables, artisanal cheeses, high-quality meats, and delectable charcuterie. You can also discover local craft beers and ready-to-eat dishes. The market is divided into two parts: the covered market (Marché Beauvau) and the open-air market on Place d'Aligre, offering food and second-hand goods. The market is open every day except Monday. The covered market's opening hours vary, but it's generally open in the mornings and afternoons, with slightly different hours on Saturdays and Sundays. The open-air market has slightly different hours.
