FRUGAL TRAVELER
On Sunday, the local markets were closed, so I left the 10th Arrondissement to shop at the Marché d’Aligre (Place d’Aligre; marchedaligre.free.fr), in the 12th, which had been recommended by a reader, Shira, for its bountiful produce and by my friends for its low prices. After taking in the scene — hurdy-gurdy men, balloon vendors, tuba players — I got down to business, buying kilo upon kilo of melons, tomatoes, radishes, zucchini, lettuces, peaches, apricots, raspberries and more. Sagging under the weight of my purchases, I’d spent less than 20 euros.
