Choose a neighbourhood-scale outing

Use Rue de l’Olive and its market as a starting area, then choose a continuation towards Marx Dormoy or Place de la Chapelle. The landmarks in this portrait give options rather than a compulsory circuit.

Prepare the market separately

Check the market’s current hours if the stalls are central to your visit. Decide your return station before extending the outing around the large roads and railway edges.
