Paris is a city full of interesting corners with terraces, flowers, falafel shops or hidden medieval architectural elements. For example, this summer I found a place which I liked very much. A very authentic Parisian matket.
Most of the flower market is housed in six metal pavilions on both sides of tree-lined avenues. Some of the flower shops are located at the northern end of the market, on the north sidewalk of the quai de Corse.
In 1808, a vacant lot located between the Quai Desaix (current quai de la Corse) and the Rue de la Pelleterie (disappeared street) was transferred to the city to build the flower and shrub market established up to that time. It is also planted with trees and two basins are established. It is inaugurated on August 16, 1809. In 1840-43, the administration renovated the market (rebuilding the two basins, laying granite borders around the market and paving with bitumen, etc.)
