The midnight market in Paris you've never heard about
Have you ever heard of Rungis? It's the world's largest wholesale food market, it provides all the Paris markets and restaurants with their fresh produce, and you can find it near the Orly Airport.  Or can you? This place may as well be top secret. Only the vendors and restauranteurs can access it - yet it's as big as a village. Every night, at around 2am, produce sellers (like fishermen and cheesemongers) open their doors to the eager buyers, who charge in and negotiate prices for the goods.  And even though it's closed to the public, I got an invite to make this episode. My invite came from April Pett who runs April in Paris tours, check her out here: https://www.aprilinparistours.com/ Big shout out to market vendor Jaad who took us around and whose laughter echoed through the halls of Rungis all night.  You can find more about the market here (but remember, it isn't open to visit to the public). https://www.rungisinternational.com/ Here's the replay of the short live video we made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeiII9gqlZo And the rest of our pictures are on social media, the rest of my videos will be for the members, only.
