A small supermarket that keeps Les Halles hours

Epicerie is an independent grocery on Rue de la Grande Truanderie, in Les Halles, and it works on the neighbourhood's clock rather than a daytime one. You see it as a compact shop with shelves packed close, the sort of place that keeps going long after the surrounding streets have thinned out.

The item worth knowing about is bottled water, which is what you come here for when you need hydration and nothing else is open. It is the pick that carries the shop, and it sits alongside the everyday grocery stock that fills the shelves.

What shapes a visit is the timing. The doors stay open until 2 am on Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, until 1:30 am on Wednesday and until 1 am on Monday, which makes it one of the few places in the quarter to buy anything at that hour.

Spending here is modest: a basket typically lands between €15 and €40, and the shop is talked about for value for money and for staff who are friendly and have a feel for the nightlife.

It suits you if you are staying nearby and need water or a few basics late at night; it is not a place to build a full weekly shop around.

  1. Bottled Water

    Bottled water is sold here for a quick drink during your stay.

Who is this for

This one is for you if you are out late in Les Halles and need bottled water or a few basics after everything else has shut. It also works for a short stay nearby where a small basket of €15 to €40 covers what you need without a trip to a bigger shop.

If you need an early start instead of a late one, Carrefour City on Rue Berger opens at 6:30 am on weekdays and keeps going until 11:30 pm.

The verdict

The hours are the draw rather than the range, so it earns a swing-by for late-night basics rather than a dedicated trip.
