Wherever we are, we're always on the lookout for fun, inspiring, and unique markets. From flea markets to find gems you won't find in the Netherlands, to food markets where you can discover and then taste local products and secretly feel a bit like a local. Paris is overflowing with different markets; there are so many that you could try a different cheese every day for weeks. That's why we've compiled a list of our favorite markets in Paris. Au revoir!

As a child, I went there with my parents to shop, and as a teenager and in my twenties, I went clubbing. Now, I love coming here for a weekend escape, filled with good food, great wine bars, and that typical Rotterdam down-to-earth attitude.
Rotterdam is buzzing with creativity and has a real IT-factor. In this mini-guide, I share my favorite hotspots you'll definitely want to know.

Perhaps the last weekend with ice and snow ⛄️❄️
Are you a cocooner or do you prefer to get outdoors? In our Snowy Amsterdam Guide, I share my favorite winter tips for this weekend in the city.
Save it – because snow days like this are rare 🥰
Do you have any great winter tips for Amsterdam? I'd love to read along!

First of all: thank you for being here to close out 2025 <3.
2025, you were everything I hoped you would be and more. So many new memories.
I don't yet know what 2026 will bring, but last year was one for the books. Highlights included trips to China, Mexico City, Egypt, and exploring the English countryside.
Entrepreneurs probably recognize that 2025 was not an easy year.
When I started Your Little Black Book, I had one dream: not to work to stay somewhere for free in exchange for content and the pressure of a "picture perfect" experience. But to use my revenue models to book and experience those special places myself, as a guest instead of an influencer, and to give you honest tips.
After almost 15 years of entrepreneurship, I'm so happy with the balance between editorial and commercial work and that I can also say no to things that don't feel right.
At the same time, it's still special that destinations, airlines, and hotels hire me to create a customized Little Black Book for them. I have complete freedom with these campaigns, and I believe in the value of these content-based tips that truly suit your taste. And they come from me personally, not from a machine.
So thank you for your support when you see #yourlbbcollab, #pressstrip or #prinvited ;-).
This will always be my dream job, the one I created almost 15 years ago. I still do as much as possible myself. That's energizing—from both successes and failures.
Luckily, I have a small team that helps with certain sections, and this year we're going through all the tips critically. What's still truly fun, and what's not?
As a leisure expert and queen of curation, I'm so excited to take yourlittleblackbook.me to the next level. Even though being an online entrepreneur requires constant attention and doesn't always come naturally, I wouldn't want anything else.
My mission remains: making your life easier.
So you don't have to search, but can simply choose well.
So glad you were here this year. Without you, there would be no Your Little Black Book 🖤
See you in 2026!
With love,
@anne_de_buck
I have always been part of the family and have always been proud of my work. I have a nice garden in my garden 🗝️👀
Mark your calendars! Because on January 17th and 18th, Hotel Night returns to Amsterdam with a year-round event packed with health and wellness events, and of course, legendary parties you'll be talking about all year long.
I got a sneak peek at The Art of Balance theme at the luxurious Anantara Krasnapolsky and arranged a similarly special experience for you as a YLBB follower.
And in my opinion:
• overnight stay for 2 people in a luxury room on January 17, 2026
• access to the spa & wellness (subject to availability via the wellness desk)
• pre-dinner cocktail at Bar The Tailor
• fully catered dinner from the chef
• passe-partouts for the Hotel Night parties
• extensive breakfast in the Winter Garden
• participation in unique Ice Experience in Krasnapolsky Summergarden
And in Flanders:
• let us know who you would like to check in with at Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky during the Mastercard Hotel Night
• download the Mastercard Hotel Night app where you can see the complete program
• and take a look at @hotelnacht and @anantarakrasnapolsky for the latest updates and to get the fun started!
The winner will be notified on January 5th in a comment from @hotelnacht that I will share in my stories.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Love,
Anne

NEW YEAR 🥰 ~ I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
I'll be sharing more of these kinds of diaries with you in 2026. What a month December was! 🖤 So grateful for all the special moments!
From overcoming stage fright to New York, lots of QT with my boys, and delicious food. We're closing out the year in Egypt, and it's so incredibly beautiful here ☺️.
1 'Coming home' to NY, this city continues to surprise 🗽
No fancy dinners this time, but a week full of street food, handrolls, slices, and wine bars. 🍕
3 A bizarre end to the trip and another experience richer 🫣
4 Just in time to present the Entree Award for 'best new luxury hotel'. ✨ Overcoming stage fright: CHECK!
One of the best hospitality parties of the year: the Entree Awards. Luckily, we still have the photos. 📸
6, 7, 8 Date night at the always delicious Café Caron, the newly opened Char-d (also recommended) and the snacky dinner that I had been craving for months 😅
9-night hotel preview at Anantara Krasnapolsky and the best night out in your own city. TIP: There's a fantastic giveaway coming up that you won't want to miss. 👀
Note to self: visit a hotel spa more often for the ultimate luxury experience, such as at Anantara Krasnapolsky Amsterdam.

PS: I love this age of traveling together, a big boy full of fun ideas, but still sweet and small at the same time 🥰
It's crazy to think that the year is almost over, but I'm really looking forward to 2026 and everything that's to come.
I hope you had some nice days too 🖤.

This is the coolest new hotel for a night away! Meet @viaantwerp, Antwerp's newest boutique hotel on the border of Zurenborg and Borgerhout (yep, voted the 2nd coolest neighborhood in the world by Time Out).
I recently stayed at this gem, and it truly has it all: a lively bar with a cozy atmosphere, walls adorned with creative art, beautiful, bright rooms, and it's within walking distance of great hotspots. And I haven't even mentioned @mea.antwerp! The delightful restaurant, helmed by a chef who previously worked at The Palomar in London. If you know, you know!
And now the best news:
I can surprise one of you with a dream night away at VIA Antwerp. 💛
And in my opinion
• Overnight stay for 2 people
• Breakfast included
• Chef's Dinner at MEA
And in Flanders
• Let us know in the comments which friend you would like to stay here with
• Of course, take a look at @viaantwerp & @mea.antwerp to dream away and follow their updates
The winner will be notified personally via DM on December 10th.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and will soon share a mini guide with more great tips for Antwerp! 🖤

6 Paris Flea Markets to Keep on Your Radar
Paul Bert Serpette
Marché Serpette is Paris's hippest market right now, where you can find beautiful items from around 130 vendors. Think furniture from 1900 to 1940, master paintings, books, vintage clothing, and even bronze statues from the time of Napoleon III. The perfect market for a sunny afternoon. Get browsing!
110 Rue des Rosiers, Paris, France
Book stalls on the Seine
True bookworms among us will be in their element along the Seine. Here you can stroll for miles past books, prints, magazines, and paintings.
Seine, Paris, France
The Puces de Montreuil
A small but delightful flea market and food street in the east of Paris. In other words, two birds with one stone. Hunt for gems at the flea market and then pop into a cozy restaurant for a bite to eat and a drink. P.S.: Bargaining is a must at this market; it's a sport everyone practices here.
Avenue du Professeur André Lemierre, Paris, France

Le Marché Aux Puces de Saint-Ouen
It's the world's largest flea market where you'll find anything but "junk." The market consists of about 15 markets spread across various streets, squares, and market halls around Rue des Rosiers, on the border of arrondissements 17 and 18. Visit the markets on Rue de Rosiers, where you can find Marché Malassis and pick up furniture, vintage cameras, and toys, among other things. At Marché Dauphine and Marché Biron, you'll find mainly antique furniture, books, art, and ceramics. For antiques and curiosities from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, head to Le Marché Aux Puces de Saint-Ouen in Paris. However, the vendors know the value of their wares, so finding bargains is tricky. You can always try haggling, though.
Saint-Ouen, Paris, France – marcheauxpuces-saintouen.com
On weekends, you can visit the Porte de Vances flea market, where you can snag a wide variety of items at a great price. Think vintage clothing, 19th-century clocks, silver-plated cutlery, carpets, and ceramics. Tip: try bargaining in French; you'll be amazed at the difference it makes. And go early to ensure you don't miss out on the best items.
14 Avenue Georges Lafenestre, Paris, France
Vernaison Market
This market has been around since 1920 and is still a favorite among true window shoppers. It's nestled in a maze of narrow streets and trees that provide shade in sunny weather. At over 300 stalls, you'll find a wide variety of jewelry, furniture, dolls, and books. Keep your eyes peeled for those special gems you're looking for.
99 Rue des Rosiers, Paris, France

2 X Organic Markets: Markets in Paris to Have on Your Radar
Marché Biologique des Batignolles
Every Saturday, you can visit this organic market in the 8th arrondissement. It's a local favorite, and we have to admit, it's definitely worth a visit. It's not the kind of market where vendors shout about their latest great deal. The atmosphere is calm and friendly. You can stock up on all your daily groceries, but also find complete meals, a variety of (gluten-free) breads, and even organic beauty products, plants, and clothing.
34 Boulevard des Batignolles, Paris, France
Marché Biologique Raspail
On Sundays, you can head to the Raspail Biomarket in the 6th arrondissement. Just like at the Batignolles Biomarket, you'll find the best fresh organic produce and even non-food items here. It's the perfect and most popular market if you're looking for snacks and dishes to enjoy in the park or for lunch at work.
Rue du Cherche-midi – Rue de Rennes, Paris, France
8 Food Markets and Streets in Paris to Keep on Your Radar
Aligre market
A beautiful indoor and outdoor market in the 12th arrondissement where you can pick up fresh ingredients for your lunch every morning throughout the week. Butchers, sausage makers, caterers, greengrocers, fishmongers, cheese and wine merchants, and liquor stores—you can find absolutely everything here. The market and the street full of cozy cafés are still relatively unknown to tourists, especially early in the morning. So, set your alarm and be there early!
Place d'Aligre, Paris, France
Passy Market
In the west of Paris, in the 16th arrondissement, you'll find the Marché de Passy. A market hall that caters to the somewhat affluent Parisians. Here you can find the best lobsters and oysters, and we happen to find them absolutely delicious.
Place de Passy, Paris, France
Secret Market
This market hall has existed since 1860 and is a beautiful sight thanks to its glass and metal roof. A wide variety of flowers and plants are sold at the market, making it a photogenic location.
Avenue Secrétan, Paris, France
Rungis
A market that began in the 12th century as a city market in Paris, Les Halles, has since grown into the largest fresh produce market in Europe. Rungis covers an area of approximately 232 hectares, where 1,5 million tons of meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, and other fresh produce are sold annually. A feast for the eyes, and be sure to come and taste!
1 Rue de la Tour, Paris, France
Bastille Market
This market is also the place to be for the best fresh produce, such as vegetables, fish, meat, and cheese. Go early in the morning when it's not too busy, or around 13 p.m. to be the first to snag the stallholders' bargains. After your stroll through the market, enjoy a cup of coffee on the terrace at Place de la Bastille.
8 Boulevard Richard Lenoir, Paris, France
Marche des Enfants Rouges
In the Marais, you'll find a covered market where you'll love popping in during your shopping spree for fresh fruit, bread, or a slice of cheese. Need a good lunch? Enjoy dishes made with fresh ingredients from the market at the improvised food stalls. You'll instantly feel like a true Parisian there.
39 Rue de Bretagne, Paris, France – Facebook Page
Rue Daguerre
A street bustling with activity day and night. During the day, you can enjoy all the fresh produce available at the market, such as seafood, cheese, and vegetables, as well as chocolate and the finest wines. In the evening, you can relax at the countless restaurants and cafés lining this street. Greek, Moroccan, Japanese, Vietnamese—whatever you're in the mood for, you'll find it on Rue Daguerre. During the winter months, the street is adorned with thousands of lights, making an evening stroll even more romantic.
Rue Daguerre, Paris, France
Rue Mouffetard Market
This street is located in one of Paris's most romantic neighborhoods. It's packed with charming boutiques, shops, and food stalls, and boasts a beautiful church. During the day, you can do your daily grocery shopping at the market, find everything you need for a picnic, or even enjoy a good cup of coffee to wake up. Locals say you can get the best crêpe in Paris at Petit Grec. Time to try it!
Rue Mouffetard, Paris, France
