In Paris, Unearthing the Dazzling Appeal of the Simple Supermarket
Rue Montorgueil in the 2nd arrondissement is one of the most famed food streets in Paris. It's home to world-renowned pastry shop Jeffrey Cagnes, whose chic sweets are displayed in cases like jewels, along with fromageries teeming with myriad wedges, charcuterie-stocked boucheries, glorious fruit stands and an outpost of Mariage Frères teas, among other gourmet outposts.
Tourists like me come here for an authentic taste of Paris. It's not a place where a mere supermarket gets any attention.
