The car-free Rue Cler in Paris' posh 7th arrondissement has one of the city's largest and most exciting (for foodies, at least) permanent outdoor street markets. Quality is de rigueur here: you're unlikely to find any molding fruit or less than excellent fish and meat at this favorite grocery hub for les bonnes familles of Paris. Not surprisingly, it's not always cheap-- but if you want to stake out top-quality fresh ingredients or nonperishables to take back home with you, a stroll on this coveted market street won't disappoint. Rick Steves has an excellent guide to the best stands, shops and bakeries here.
