For a glimpse of "old Paris," take a stroll down Rue Montorgueil, Paris’s oldest market street. As in the 19th century, this gently curved, charming street is lined with high-quality fruit/vegetable markets, butchers, fishmongers, patisseries, and cheese shops. The throw-back feel of the street isn’t just because of the lovely old buildings lining it – it’s also the merchants crying out, inviting you to check out their wares. Liberally sprinkled with cafés and restaurants, often with outdoor terraces, rue Montorgueil is an excellent place to sit down with a café au lait and watch Parisian life unfold. Local favorites like Pâtisserie Stohrer, the oldest bakery in Paris, and Au Rocher de Cancale, a must stop brunch spot, make this Paris strip an attractive destination. -Barbara Diggs
