Rue Cler in Paris: the 7th arrondissement market street near the Eiffel Tower, what to eat and when to go

Rue Cler is a shopping street in the 7th arrondissement, about ten minutes' walk from the Eiffel Tower and a short walk from the Champ-de-Mars, between rue Saint-Dominique and avenue de la Motte-Picquet. It is described as a neighbourhood market: cheese shops, bakeries, greengrocers, cafés and restaurants, plus the Mariage Frères tea shop at number 56. It is the place to buy a picnic before the Champ-de-Mars. Entry is free; hours depend on each shopkeeper (crowd-sourced online listings, to check).

Highlights

The fruit and vegetable stalls

The greengrocers set up their stalls in front of the shops; this is the liveliest part of the street, especially in the morning.

The street and its terraces

Cafés and restaurants line the street; the Haussmann buildings of the 7th give the whole a discreet village feel.
