  • About
Rue Convention, 75015 M° Convention (Line 12) Open: Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, 7:00 A.M.–2:30 P.M.
Exploring the 15th arrondissement of Paris almost feels like traveling in time. This traditional, and largely residential, part of Paris is full of classic cafés and corner bistrots. This conservative quarter has not been affected by foreign influence or trendy establishments, and butchers and bakers proudly display traditional French products in their shop windows.
Marché Convention lines rue Convention ending at place Charles Vallin, where you will find the Maison Lenoble stand. Located in the Île-de-France, this local farm’s stand is a great spot to stop as summer transitions to autumn. Late summer eggplant and bell peppers mingle with cabbage, lettuce, and leaks. Rarer vegetable varieties, such as watermelon radish and heirloom tomatoes, can also be found here. If you’re not planning on visiting in the 15th arrondissement, you can also find the Lenoble family’s stand at Marché Berthier (boulevard de Reims, 17th arrondissement) and Marché Point du Jour (avenue de Versailles, 16th arrondissement).
