Et aussi pas snob Pamish!
I'm off to Paris in May and I've wave this article at the tres chichiteux et plus snob customers of the Marche des Enfant Rouges around the corner from where I stay and watch their reaction as they hand over €10 for a sliver of boudin blanc!

It's named after an orphanage that used to be on the site where the kids all had to wear a red uniform BUT it does normally have lots of poeple selling selling Liberation.

When my friends moved to the area it was still solidly working class and had a small Chinatown area around Rue Volta. The working class residents have mostly been priced out by the Marais creeping up north into the 3rd arrondissement. There is still a tiny Chinatown along Rue au Maire but no doubt the shop keepers there will be gone in a few years, pushed out to the last few streets in the Belleville, Barbes and Stalingrad districts that haven't yet been gentrified.
As a PS, around the corner from my friends' apartment is the Ecole Primare Vertus which has a plaque on the wall in remembrance of the Jewish children who were taken from the area to concentration camps.

Yes that area is how the area to the south of the Marais was some 20 years ago. And its is close to the Rue des Rosiers which still concentrates quite a few jewish shops - Chez Maria has great med food and the fallafel shops!
If you want a real market head to the one held on Sunday mornings under the Metro line 6 between La Motte Picquet Grenelle and Dupleix stations - le Marche Grenelle. It is in a very bourgeois area but full of families and so has retained as much of its " feed the family" aim as a parisian market can these days. It is also next to some great local shops and brasseries but far enough off the thick tourist trail too!
Thats for anyone jumping one the next Eurostar!

I often get falafel at Rue des Rosiers - good cheap lunch. Hadn't heard of le Marche Grenelle though so many thanks for the recommendation.
I use the market that runs up the middle of the Boulevard Richard-Lenoir from Place de la Bastille. Good fruit and veg and rather eccentric stall holders!
