Antiques, Organics, and French Pate: Diving into the Markets of Paris

The Markets of Paris guidebook navigates the City of Light not through its monuments or art galleries, but by relating the history and charms of its neighborhood marketplaces.

For the updated second edition (released May 15)—which includes new photos and restaurant listings, plus sidebars on bakers, oysters, cooking classes, and more—original co-author Dixon Long collaborated with writer-photographer Marjorie R. Williams, who spent six months last year exploring 124 different food, crafts, and antiques marchés, all organized by arrondissement in the book.
