Where is a good place to get fresh flowers on a Friday? We are staying in the 2nd off Etienne Marcel. There looks to be a outdoor market at BOURSE. Or should I stick with finding them on Rue Montorgueil? Thanks.

You should be able to get some on Rue Monorgueil or if you cross Blvd Sebastopol on Rue Rambuteau, there is at least on shop with fresh flowers near the Pompidou Center.

Bourse or Etienne Marcel. There might be slim pickings at Etienne Marcel because of the Easter vacations.

chexbres,
It is May 25 when we will be looking for flowers. So the same advice holds. Glad to know that Bourse will have flowers. Thanks!

Most neighbourhoods have a flower shop or two with bouquets spilling out onto the sidewalk. Some grocery stores also may have blooms. No need to seek out a market (although they are fun).

I have had better luck at local shops for three kinds of products rather than markets. We have been disappointed by the freshness and quality of bread, roast chickens and flowers sold in markets (not market streets, markets). We always buy those things in local shops including those on market streets.
