Amélie Renard

Parisienne by birth, by the 11th arrondissement where I have lived my whole life. I go to Marché d'Aligre every Saturday morning because it is the best market in Paris and almost nobody who visits Paris finds it. I know where to buy the best baguette (the winner of the Grand Prix de la Baguette is on my street), which wine bar in Oberkampf does natural wines without pretension, and where to eat a proper steak frites at lunch for 14 euros. Paris has a food culture that is invisible to visitors who eat on the Champs-Élysées.
