Let market calendars determine the order
Markets have their own operating days and hours. Build the order after checking official calendars. Shopping streets remain an option when stalls are closed.
A shorter version
One market and its neighbouring streets can make a better visit than rushing between four addresses. Aligre and Faubourg Saint-Antoine are a practical pair.
